Default Is it official now? Has it been repealed?

I saw this up, I don't know the exact name of the bill so...

At the end of january it was switching between the house and senate, no big news has been posted since then so I'm not sure what the status may be but 2 different sites had mention of this, any one have the bill # so that it can be looked up?

According to that link, people who have paid their fines already will be getting a refund. That's nice.

I heard that on the radio yesterday and was very surprised.

I knew it wasn't going to last, I thought someone would challenge the fines on constitutional grounds though.

So does that include the insane fine for reckless?
