Says there:

UPDATE:  Via Pistol Forums I have learned that what looks like an early draft version of the bill is up at Senator Feinsteins website.
Status:
This bill was assigned to a congressional committee on January 24, 2013, which will consider it before possibly sending it on to the House or Senate as a whole. 
Progress: Introduced Jan 24, 2013 Referred to Committee Jan 24, 2013 (That's it so far...) Prognosis: 10% chance of getting past committee. 1% chance of being enacted. Only 12% of Senate bills made it past committee and only 2% were enacted in 2011–2013.
