Bill > SB0733

This bill modifies Tennessee law by requiring the state Department of Education to submit an annual early grades reading report to specific legislative committees by December 31st each year. The bill amends an existing statute in Title 49 of the Tennessee Code Annotated, which relates to education, specifically updating the reporting requirements for early reading assessments. By mandating this annual report to the Senate education committee and the House committees responsible for education, the legislation aims to provide consistent and timely information about reading performance in the early grades. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the state legislature's view that this reporting requirement is important for the public welfare and ongoing assessment of educational outcomes.
