Well, this is welcome news.
I hope that it is signed into law, but won't be surprised if it isn't—weird times.

It might get 51. It won't get 60 to make it to the floor.
This being an election year, crime being a thing again, and the left side of the aisle trying to salvage something - those things might work in our favor. Might. Not betting or holding my breath.
The Senate generally tends to be a lot less Radical Kook on the issues than the House. They're not under the same sort of Hyper Left "Cops Bad!" pressure, and most could get an easy W by Standing Up for Law Enforcement, especially those in the more purple states.

Per the status of the bill ...

You can read the whole text (thus far), unless the Senate makes any changes ...

I'd suspect that since this is an election year, and an increasing number of voters are frightened by some types of rising crime, the bill will hopefully be passed and then quickly signed by the president.
