Not done yet. The Senate could and probably will kill it.

Not necessarily. It's attached as an amendment and worded so NOBODY can get their Water and energy aprops funded unless the old bulbs can be brought back to the market.

The first stand alone bill put everyone on the record. This one was an amendment to a water and energy appropriations bill, will be a little tougher to kill off. It also passed by voice vote, as opposed to the stand alone bill which required a 2/3 majority b/c it was under suspension.

We will see how it survives the conference process between the House and Senate.
