Bill > SB1338

This bill requires the Office of Research and Education Accountability (OREA), which is a research arm of the Tennessee Comptroller's office, to produce an annual report about the state's education freedom scholarship program by October 30th each year. The report must include specific details about program participants, such as the total number of scholarship recipients, how many have been in the program for two or more years, how many were previously enrolled in Tennessee public schools in the prior year, and how many are first-time eligible students entering the K-12 public school system. The bill mandates that the first report will be due by October 30, 2025, with subsequent annual reports due by the same date in following years. The legislation is designed to provide transparency and track participation in the education freedom scholarship program, which appears to be a school choice initiative that allows students to receive scholarships to attend schools of their choice. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly.
