Bill > HB1178

This bill modifies the reporting requirements for Tennessee's higher education governing boards, including the Board of Regents, state university boards, and the University of Tennessee Board of Trustees. Under the current law, these boards were required to submit annual reports summarizing grievance activities. The proposed change shifts this requirement to a more flexible approach, where these boards will only provide such reports when specifically requested by either the Senate education committee or the House of Representatives education committee. The report will still need to cover grievance activities from the previous year, but will no longer be an automatic annual submission. This change gives legislative education committees more discretion in obtaining grievance information while still maintaining their oversight capabilities. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and applies to the state's major higher education governing bodies.
