This article was published on March 12 and it states:
"A proposed federal law known as the DREAM Act, which passed the U.S. Senate in 1996 before dying when a comprehensive immigration reform bill was killed by a filibuster in 2007, would make clear that undocumented immigrants who meet certain criteria may pay in-state tuition rates at state colleges and universities.

A spokesperson for U.S. Rep. Howard Berman, D-California, who has previously been the prime sponsor of the bill in the House of Representatives, said the DREAM Act would be reintroduced in the current Congress "in the next several weeks."

Colorado's Jared Polis, D-Boulder, is expected to be a co-sponsor and leading proponent of that bill."

I like that phrase.

1996 should be 2006 when CIR passed the Senate. The Dream Act didn't exist until 2001.

State Republicans believe a Democratic lawmaker is reconsidering a bill that would offer in-state tuition to illegal immigrants because of a public “outcry.”
But Sen. Chris Romer of Denver told the Denver Daily News on Wednesday that Senate Bill 170 is not at all off the table. And he said with certainty that his reconsidering the legislation has nothing to do with public outcry.
Romer said he wants to wait to schedule the bill for a hearing by the whole Senate until next week when he expects to see the language of the federal DREAM Act. The DREAM Act would allow illegal immigrants who arrived as children the opportunity to become citizens by attending college or serving in the military.
Found this article on the front page.

Don't forget that introduction just means introducing the bill to both houses of Congress. It's a good first step, but after it's introduced, we still have to wait since we don't know when the bill will be debated.
