AB 585 - What is the bill status?

Below is the status of SB 585, the bill that would ban firearm sales at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, probably ending gun shows at that venue:

CURRENT BILL STATUS


MEASURE : S.B. No. 585
AUTHOR(S) : Leno.
TOPIC : Agricultural District 1-A: firearm sales at
the Cow Palace.
HOUSE LOCATION : SEN

TYPE OF BILL :
Active
Non-Urgency
Non-Appropriations
Majority Vote Required
State-Mandated Local Program
Fiscal
Non-Tax Levy

LAST HIST. ACT. DATE: 04/27/2009
LAST HIST. ACTION : Placed on APPR suspense file.
COMM. LOCATION : SEN APPROPRIATIONS

TITLE : An act to add Section 4132 to the Food and
Agricultural Code, relating to Agricultural District
1-A.


Let direct your attention to the phrase "Placed on APPR suspense file." and ask a question: what is a suspense file? Is that possibly a typographical error, really meant to be "suspend file". Can anyone share with us the status of this bill?

Side Note: I am going to the Crossroads of the West gun show at the Cow Palace today. It might be one of the last chances to go to a gun show in the Bay Area.
