Sen. Chuck McIlhinney, who wrote the compromise bill, said a joint House-Senate committee was ready to vote on his bill, which would have stopped local governments from passing their own laws on smoking.
However, McIlhinney said a majority on the committee fell apart after Rendell's veto threat made one member, Sen. Robert Mellow, reconsider.
McIlhinney said he hopes a revised bill can be ready as soon as Tuesday.
