Information on the bill from govtrack: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/hr3523 http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/hr3523
Note that there are already 112 co-sponsors of the bill with folks from both parties. If there isn't some huge groundswell of public opinion (and a few nerd-oriented trade articles don't qualify) this could get a fairly big vote in the House. Perhaps veto-proof, more probably loaded up with lots more stuff anybody in their right mind would support (Orphan-Feeding Act of 2012?). It has certainly been set up to succeed. (Political wonk note: big difference between a bill with 100+ supporters from both parties coming to a committee vote and something like Chuck Schumer's yesterday one-of threats for better immigration law. They both might be reported in the same way, but there's a huge difference in the underlying reality.)
