What does the last sentence have to do with it? It's still just a bill. Guess I am showing my ignorance but I thought a bill was just a bill until it was approved by Congress, House and the Governor to become a law. Didn't you ever watch School House Rock?

Now I am really confused. Is this a law or a bill? Where are the politicians on the board?

I chose to change to a different front bumper specifically because it could house the plate without looking like azz. To celebrate... I'm gonna buy the one I REALLY want.... IF/WHEN this goes into effect.
