Like the terminator, it'll be back
When the powers that be really want to pass something, they sneak it into a "must pass" bill as an amendment. I wouldn't be shocked if it ends up some spending authorization bill for homeland security or something like that, where congressmen in an election year can't be seen voting against a bill everyone supports. Though that's made harder by the fact Obama is on his way out, so he could veto it without repercussions. Whether he would though, that's another matter.
