A couple of years ago in Nevada, a bill was proposed to incorporate
PRB-1 into state law, and also to extend it to CCRs. There was much
opposition to the CCR part by builders, HOAs, etc. Finally, the
sponsors deleted the CCR part, so that they could get the PRB-1 part
into state law. The bill finally passed with the PRB-1 only. The
thinking was, let's get PRB-1 passed, and fight for the CCR part
another year. We're still waiting.

No surprise. In general, the Hill's response to an effective bill
that upsets powerful folks [And make no mistake, the homebuilders
are a powerful lobby group..] is to pass a watered-down bill that
accomplishes little.

That way, when Your Gal/Guy is stumping for reelection,
[s]he can hold the bill up as a legislative accomplishment.

There's every reason to believe that state legislatures
work in a similar manner.
