Bill Text: Summary \| Full Text Status: Introduced Dec 7, 2007 Reported by Committee Apr 24, 2008 Voted on in Senate - Voted on in House - Signed by President - 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 bills are 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.
