**UPDATE: A COMPROMISE WAS REACHED AT 3PM ET ON TUESDAY, MARCH 9th. Barring a hold placed on the newly amended bill text by a different Senator, it will pass the Senate later this week. Thank you to each person that played a role in this absolutely historic effort! Now, our focus will be on the House of Representatives, which needs to pass the bill as well before it is signed into law by the President.**
