Bill Summary

AI Summary

This bill modifies Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-1-107, by changing the date by which the state department of education must notify local education agencies (LEAs) of available state and federal grants for expanding mental health services in schools from October 15 to October 1. This seemingly minor adjustment provides LEAs with mental health grant information two weeks earlier than the current law requires, potentially giving schools more time to prepare and apply for these important resources. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the legislative body determining that the public welfare requires this change. By moving the notification deadline earlier, the bill aims to support schools in their efforts to enhance mental health services and resources for students.
