OK.....here is what I found out. I spoke with a senator's intern yesterday and today. Here is what he emailed me:
Sorry that it has taken me so long to get this to you. As I mentioned yesterday the bill was amended in the Tax and Fiscal Policy committee and passed out of this committee. It will now go to the Senate floor to be voted upon for a Second reading. If it passes the Second reading, then it will have to be read and voted upon by the entire Senate again, which is called Third reading. The amendments that passed in committee do not affect the particular part of the bill that you are most interested in. I hope this helps and again, I’m sorry that it took so long for me to get back to you.
There is no opportunity for the "public" to speak anymore regarding this bill. I will hopefully get a personal phone call from my senator regarding this bill.
Hope this info. helps you all.
