Chances of passing

Worked out from the bill's type, its stage and the government's verified standing; for a federal bill, its passage range sets the band. It is not a guarantee.

Unlikely to pass because it's a Senate public bill (which rarely passes) and it's at an early stage.

Historically 10–30% of comparable federal bills became law (base rate 19%).
