34 hr. restart rules thrown out?

According to CNN. com the new restart rules were eliminated. Supposedly they were thrown out as a part of the government funding bill. Can anyone confirm this info?

I think they may have put a new rule in that bill that allows DOT to shoot truckers if they suspect they may have any log violations. Local police will only be permitted to choke you out!!!!
