OK, I went and looked at the status of the Bills. 1788 seems to be in the lead as far as action goes. These Bills are still in committee in the Assembly. It didn't show the reading unfortunately but maybe it will when it gets to the third reading.

The bills get their first reading after it is introduced and assigned a number. It then goes to committee. It gets a second reading everytime it moves between committees. Once it is done with the committees it will get a third reading which means it will be up for a vote. This will be a critical time.

After it moves to the Senate, and it will keep the same number, the whole process starts again. If there is any good news in this, it is that the Senate is not considering a similar bill at the same time. If they were the bills could then be put directly in conference and speed the process up.
