What part of this sentence didn't people understand??
Senator Dale M. Volker (R-I-C, Depew) today announced
> that Governor George E. Pataki has enacted his bill into law (S.918),
> which
> would allow sportsmen to hunt deer and bear in the southern tier
> counties
> with rifles.

To me this says that Pataki acted (signed) and the bill is law. Go get your rifles.
