The bill has been introduced in legislation, but it must be voted on and passed in the agriculture committee. This committee is chaired by William Magee, an auctioneer in Madison County, N.Y., who graduated from Cornell in agricultural economics. Magee said committee members are reviewing the bill, and a vote will probably not take place before 2010.
