This bill was considered in committee which has recommended it be considered by
the Senate as a whole. Although it has been
placed on a calendar of business, the order in which legislation is considered
and voted on is determined by the majority party leadership.
Keep in mind that sometimes the text of one bill is incorporated into another bill, and in those cases the original bill, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned.
