Bill > HB1135

This bill amends Tennessee's existing education code by modifying the reporting requirements for the state Department of Education regarding early grades reading performance. Specifically, the bill mandates that the department must submit an annual early grades reading report by December 31st to two legislative committees: the Senate Education Committee and the House committees responsible for education-related matters. The bill does not specify the detailed contents of the report, but it establishes a clear annual deadline and reporting mechanism for sharing information about reading performance in the early grades. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare by ensuring timely and consistent reporting on educational reading outcomes.
