Circuit Court Judge Charles Price hears arguments Tuesday, March 5, 2013 in Montgomery, Ala., on whether the governor can sign into law a bill providing private school tax credits. Gov. Robert Bentley had planned to sign the bill Tuesday afternoon, but Price temporarily put that on hold while he considers a lawsuit filed by the Alabama Education Association.

Circuit Court Judge Charles Price held a hearing Wednesday morning on whether to continue a temporary restraining order that he issued Tuesday, but he delayed a decision until the afternoon.
The judge's delay is to allow him time to consider a motion to dismiss filed by the state attorney general.
The Alabama Education Association is suing state officials to try to keep the governor from signing a bill to provide tax credits to parents who choose to send their children in private schools rather than failing public schools.
Court is scheduled to resume at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
