@thisismissem@hachyderm.ioWait, really? KOSA's dead? I thought it passed like yesterday or something? Does anyone have clear information as to what the current status of KOSA is?
EDIT: I'm told it passed the Senate, but is likely dead in the House, and both need to pass it for it to become legislation.
@thisismissem passed the senate, got killed in the house.
@janl I always thought the House came before the Senate.. (in australia the House passes stuff, then it goes to the Senate)
@thisismissem you’re modelled after the UK. The US is…less so.
@thisismissem @janl regular bills can go in either direction, it's just the bills for the raising of revenue that need to originate in the House
@thisismissem @janl no, in the US bills can originate in either house
@thisismissem passed by the Senate but not yet by the House of Representatives, I think
@thisismissem a version of it passed the Senate yesterday, but needed to pass both houses of Congress and this version is apparently is DOA in the House for some reason.
@thisismissem it's not dead until it's really dead
@ariadne @thisismissem And this sort of things tend to resurrect.
