News going around that the AB2072 bill already passed today (10 - 1) and is now out of the APPR. Suspense File - which was never "suspended" in the first place. Next, the bill will go to the Senate floor next week for the vote and once that gets passed it will go to the Governator's desk for his signature.
Now, there are talks about getting Edwin Black involved again, which didn't help much like the last time, because this "suspend" crowd really want to see this bill suspended permanently and are desperate for any kind of help to stop this bill. They want the whole enchilada instead. Once this bill finally passed and signed then it's a victory for all future parents of babies born with hearing loss get the necessary and full information on all communication options. But the real question after that is will we see a street protest if this bill passes the Senate floor and heads to the Governor's desk for his signature? We'll probably know this answer within the next week or so.
Stay tuned.....
Meanwhile, enjoy this, er, suspenseful classic tv show The Twilight Zone with an episode called "Eye of the Beholder" Part I, II, III and IV. All of them captioned. Kind of like the AB2072 bill story plot. Wait til the final wrapping comes off and it comes out beautifully but those who are against it sees it as an ugly result in this final treatment. And then we have the chase scene, too. Does that remind you of something? Enjoy!

What? No comments coming from those who opposed the bill all along the way?
Apparently not....so far.
According to the overview of legislative process that is available at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/bil2lawx.html , it seems that the bill has to go to the Assembly for concurrence before it can go to the governor for signature. So, it means that there is an extra step between the Senate's vote and the governor's signature.
The Twilight Zone episode that you used in your blog post is one of my favorite episodes. I like it because it raises some philosophical and practical questions about the society, individuals and humanity.

AB 2072's update of 8-13-10 reveals that there will probably be more amendments by the time it reaches the Senate floor for a vote, maybe some time next week. So, yes, it is likely that the bill will return to the Assembly, the house of the bill's origin, for concurring vote before it goes to the Governator.
And yes, the bill is no longer in "suspense", lol. Not quite like Twilight Zone...
