HR 1, the stimulus bill is still being debated on the senate floor. Many amendments are being offered--few are passing. The plan, or Chairman Inouye's plan, is to get the bill voted off the floor by Friday. The ultimate goal is to have a final conference committee report, the house and senate compromise, voted on by the 16th.
Right now it is uncertain if these time lines will be met, but this is the plan.
Several senate amendments are being offered that relate to higher education. Once a final package is adopted, that is IF it is adopted, in the senate I'll provide that info.
Stay tuned....
