Story here. Excerpt:

'On July 20, 2010, President Obama called on the Senate to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act (H.R. 12, S. 182).

In his renewed push for passage of this legislation -- which followed the Senate's refusal in 2009 to accept similar provisions in the House version of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act -- President Obama characterized the Paycheck Fairness Act as “a common sense bill that will help ensure that men and women who do equal work receive equal pay.” Passage of the PFA in its present form would result in sweeping changes to the Equal Pay Act (“EPA”).'
