basicly what this means is that a bill was introduced to the senate, First a small committee of legislators review and amend it. After that they vote on it. If it passes then it goes to the full senate(that's where this bill is now). When it's there it gets read, discussed and debated. Eventually it will get voted on. If it passes the full senate it moves to the house. However there is an identical bill in the house (speeds up the processes). In the house basically the bill goes through the same process (this version of the bill has also reached the full house stage). Once both the house and the senate pass the bill it goes to the governor to be sign/vetoed.
