Here's a link to my full story at spokesman.com on today's House committee approval of SB 1184, the third in state Superintendent of Schools Tom Luna's three-bill school reform plan, and the one that shifts salary funds to technology purchases. The bill now moves to the full House; if it passes there, the governor has pledged to sign it into law.

Meanwhile, the House this afternoon has begun debating HB 141a, Rep. Marv Hagedorn's bill to ban use of a hand-held electronic device while driving if that use distracts the driver, but not if it doesn't.
