Apparently the senate if voting right now. Since it is democrat controlled and this is a primarily democrat bill it should pass with no problems. Boehner has said he will put it up for a vote in the house once it passes the senate and he is urging the republicans not to block it Ted Cruz has said he won't. So, barring a last minute change and someone deciding to do a filibuster, it should get enough votes in the house to pass and it is a done deal.
This is, of course, the same thing that could have been done three weeks ago, but some members of the house decided to piss in the sandbox since they didn't get their way.
