Date is today, the link I have is through last night. Your looks more up to date.

Now it looks like they go to the conference committee. But in the end, even if the Senate Amendment survives and the act is signed into law it will change very little. The FAA has been clear in saying that they plan to exempt hobby models from the rule. So they will be in compliance. The pending legislation says nothing about prohibiting the FAA from defining what a model is in order to exempt it from the rule, which is what there were doing anyhow.
