When Sen. John Goedde, R-Coeur d'Alene, moved to waive further reading of SB 1184, the third school-reform bill, Democrats in the Senate objected. Sen. Les Bock, D-Boise, said "I object," and began to say something about the public, when he was cut off by Senate President Pro-Tem Brent Hill, R-Rexburg, who signaled for the full reading of the bill to begin. The bill is 24 pages long. Jeannine Wood, secretary of the Senate, is now reading the bill. Sen. Monty Pearce has arrived in the chamber; all senators now are present.
