DENVER - A House committee bid hasta la vista to a proposed English-only referendum Tuesday, saying it went too far in trying to address the state's illegal immigration problem.

The proposed ballot question not only called for banning the state from printing or distributing anything in a language other than English, but also would have barred libraries from purchasing anything written in another language and prohibited schools from requiring students to take foreign language classes.
