Following hours of debate, members of the Arkansas House Education committee narrowly passed a bill that would provide private school scholarships for low-income students.
Lawmakers on Tuesday voted 11 to nine in favor of House Bill 1371, sponsored by Republican Rep. Ken Bragg of Sheridan.
The bill would create a tax credit for individuals and businesses to donate to two funds, which would be run by a private nonprofit. One would provide up to $6 million in credits for donations to provide grants to public schools, while the other would provide $4 million in credits for donations to a fund for low-income students to attend private schools.

THE ROLL CALL: Votes for Reps. Clowney (against) and Wardlaw (for) don’t appear on the board because they were paired to allow for the absent Wardlaw to vote, but they are added in final tally.
The Arkansas House today approved SB 6,
a ban on all abortions except to save a woman’s life, by a vote of 76-19. It goes to the governor, who is most likely going to sign it though he’s avoided saying so directly so far. He’s mentioned his past support for a rape/incest exception (the same thing, right?) but backers say that sop is no longer necessary.
