"Gov. Hobbs Pushes for Fingerprint Background Checks in Arizona's Private Schools Amid Legislative Disputes"
Gov. Katie Hobbs is pushing for a new law mandating fingerprint background checks for teachers and staff in Arizona's private schools as part of her plan to regulate the school voucher program, but faces opposition from some Republicans who argue that private schools should not be forced to do something they are already doing. House Speaker Ben Toma is open to debating the idea as a separate bill, separate from changes to the voucher program.
