S510 passed the senate today and is sent to the house for action... If they like the bill they can vote to pass it and it could go to the president for approval within the week...
Insert cog here...the house passed their own food safety bill...H.R. 2749 which is much more comprehensive than S510...so if the house likes their bill better, which they probably do... then the bills have to go to reconciliation... This could take weeks or months to accomplish anything!
Most House democrats appear to be mostly satisfied with the senate version and want to push this through during the lame duck session... Republicans do not feel as if this bill is dire enough to consider at this time and will fight to keep it out of the lame duck session so it can be taken up by the much more conservative house next session...
