Bill Summary
As enacted, authorizes a local education agency to implement the law enforcement against drugs and violence (L.E.A.D.) program in schools operated by the LEA; authorizes an LEA's implementation of the L.E.A.D. program to be in lieu of the DARE program. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17 and Title 49, Chapter 1.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to allow local education agencies (LEAs, which are essentially school districts) to implement the Law Enforcement Against Drugs and Violence (L.E.A.D.) program as an alternative to the existing Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program in their schools. The bill provides LEAs with the flexibility to choose between these two drug and violence prevention educational programs, giving local school districts more discretion in selecting an approach that best suits their community's needs. By adding this provision to Title 49 of the Tennessee Code, the legislation creates a new option for schools to address drug and violence prevention education, potentially offering what might be perceived as a more contemporary or effective program compared to the traditional DARE approach. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the state legislature's view that this change serves the public welfare.
