No, what that means is:
a.) The bill will need a simple majority to pass. (Some kinds of bills require
2/3rds.)
b.) No money needed to fund it. (It doesn't cost anything to not test cars.)
c.) The fiscal committee must review it. (Not sure why, given b.)
d.) This is not something the State (this is a CA bill, remember) is requiring
the counties to enact.
(Here in CA, the counties are very touchy about the State requiring things of
them, mostly because the
mandates never come with any money from Sacramento.)
Elsewhere on the same site, it lists the current status, which has the bill in
the Transportation
Committee.
