I'm waiting for an announcement too, September was mooted, but doesn't look like we'll hear anything this month now. According to this piece put out by the CAAV, further announcements on how the BPS abolition/ELMS introduction will be done are now expected 'later in the year'

It's at the report stage of the Lords, which is where the Lords review it and then make final recommendations, they'll attach a few amendments vote on it, and then pass it back to the commons, where the government will strip off those amendments and it will get passed into statute.

I wouldn't expect much of the bill to change now so it's worth reading especially if you have specific interests. What makes the Ag-Bill a unique (but become more common) piece of legislation is that it delegates a lot of power to the Minister of State for the environment and rural affairs; which is where a lot of the unknown comes in. This means we don't exactly know how the transition from BPS to ELMs will work but we know that there will be a transition.
