Bill > HB0779

This bill amends Tennessee's charitable solicitations law by changing a specific reference in the registration exemption for educational institutions. Currently, the law allows educational institutions to be exempt from certain registration requirements if they are approved by the state board of education. The bill replaces this language, specifying that educational institutions must now be approved by the Tennessee public charter school commission to qualify for the exemption. This technical change appears to align the law with the current oversight structure for educational institutions in Tennessee, ensuring that charter schools approved by the public charter school commission receive the same registration exemption as other educational institutions. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the legislature's determination that this change is in the public interest.
