AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee's education laws to clarify rules for public charter school enrollment within a county with multiple local education agencies (LEAs). Specifically, the bill prohibits a county LEA or public charter school from charging registration fees, enrollment fees, or tuition to a student who lives in the county and transfers from one LEA to a public charter school within the same county. Additionally, the bill stipulates that such a student shall not be considered an "out-of-district" student for enrollment purposes. This means that if a county has more than one local education agency, students can transfer between LEAs and charter schools within that county without incurring additional fees or being treated as non-local students. The legislation aims to reduce financial barriers and administrative complications for students seeking to change schools within the same county. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
