Bill > HB1230

This bill modifies Tennessee's reporting requirements for local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools regarding students in foster care who are seeking to participate in interscholastic athletics. Specifically, the bill changes the existing law to require the department of education to submit a report documenting LEAs' and public charter schools' compliance with notification requirements to athletic associations about foster students' athletic participation only when requested by either the senate or house education committees, rather than on an annual basis. By shifting from an annual reporting mandate to an on-demand reporting structure, the bill reduces administrative burden while maintaining legislative oversight of foster students' participation in school sports. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare.
