Members of the Alabama House meet on the final day of the regular legislative session at the Alabama Statehouse in Montgomery on Monday. The House rejected Gov. Robert Bentley's proposal to delay allowing private school tax credits for two years, and the Republican leader in the Senate predicted it would do the same before the midnight end of the 2013 legislative session. That sent it to the Senate, where President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston, said the Republican majority had the votes to block the Republican governor's delay and begin the tax credits immediately.
