RALEIGH, N.C. -- Smoking would be banned in all state government offices -- from huge agency buildings in Raleigh to a rented shop in the local strip mall where drivers licenses are issued -- under a bill approved by a House committee Thursday.

These exams cover every area of psychology, and are standardized throughout Canada and the U.S.
