The October Three consulting group issued the following:

The gist is there may be a Congressional proposal to extend the 10% corridor to 2016. Has anyone seen mention of this elsewhere?

I haven't heard any discussions about this, but that doesn't mean it isn't true.

It was mentioned in the Washington Update session at the 2013 ASPPA annual conference as a possible revenue raiser under consideration. I don't remember if it was included in any of the bills they discussed.

From the article - "The proposal being discussed as part of a package to end the shutdown". With the shutdown over, this probably goes on the back burner until the next time Washington decides to do something [supply your own adjective].
