When the mayor says it's an imperfect bill he's vastly understating its problems, but it is almost certainly a done deal.

Mayor Villaraigosa testified for AB 1381 today in the Senate Appropriations Comittee, where it probably will be voted out on Thursday. I outlined the general timeline for the week previously.
