This bill has been officially 'retained in committee' for the 2007 session so no further action can be taken on it this year. Pending the outcome of the MP findings and what the committee then recommends for the bill next year.... it's true that the bill could possibly be fast tracked thru the 2008 process and voted on by Senate in the summer for enactment 'upon passage'. Doubtful in my opinion the legistation would do that though since that would leave no time for MP to purchase the necessary equipment, train the personnel, put up the speed zone signs, and get the funding (since no fiscal note was attached to the bill), etc. But our government works in mysterious ways....so one never knows exactly how this will work.
