Kentucky's Republican-led House panel advances a proposed school choice constitutional amendment, which could become a major state issue if it reaches the ballot. The amendment, known as House Bill 2, would allow taxpayers to fund private and charter schools if passed. The proposal goes to the full House next and would still need Senate approval to reach the statewide ballot in November.
