Bill > SB0273

This bill clarifies that a school employee will not be considered to have committed the criminal offense of falsifying educational and academic documents if they alter, create, or duplicate a student's grade in an official record, provided that this change is a result of the student participating in a program that allows them to retake a failed course, exam, or assignment and earn credit for it. This amendment specifically addresses situations where a student improves a grade through a legitimate academic recovery process, ensuring that such actions are not wrongly interpreted as document fraud under Tennessee law.
