The House Transportation Committee can vote on HB 847 at anytime - they don't have to wait until next spring (but they will most likely wait until the next session begins). It's my understanding that this bill will not be brought to the full House vote until the next legislative session, which begins next Jan. Once a Bill passes the House, it can go to the Senate anytime, but most House Bills won't be brought before the Senate until after crossover (on April 15th).

As far as the date that the Bill goes into effect - that will remain as Jan 1, 2008; unless the Bill gets passed with an amendment which changes the Effective Date. This date will likely change, but they could easily amend it to be "upon passage", which could easily be by next summer.
