anyone know how long this might take to pass and become legislation?
don’t get why you’re being downvoted. it legislation was passed then it would be much harder to revoke with the next president on a whim
This is not law yet, does anyone know what hurdles remain?
What? Yes, it was voted upon and legislated lol. It's not going anywhere.
No they don't get passed all the time. Less than 5% and only after a long debate, many changes and amendments. This one in particular has no chance of becoming law the way is redacted, not even chance of reaching the Senate.
it's already been voted on and passed. Comes into effect in 90 days I believe.
Hasn't passed the Senate yet.There is an arm-wrestle over a nasty piece of refugee legislation that might see both acts not get voted on today. That means it won't be back in parliament until next year and the government is looking so shaky it might not be in power then so... who knows!
Most important part of the tldr; is this law does not take effect until 2020. Lots of time to be amended before then.
It's not in force yet, not even passed.
Please note that, the bill is not passed yet. It will go to committee and will be discussed in the parliament again.
