Yep, HB2774 and it's Senate Companion SB1003 are both dead, unless something happened late Friday night that I don't know about. I seriously doubt that it did.

I'm not sure about the final deadline, but it's at or very close to the end of the session. No bills can carry over to the next session. The game begins again in January 2009.

"Drop-Dead" date for many bills

Today, Friday May 11, 2007, is the "drop-dead" date for any bill that has not passed at least one body (House or Senate). So, if a bill has not passed the body in which it originated, then it's dead as of midnight tonight.
