AI Summary
This bill requires most school support organizations in Tennessee to submit an annual detailed financial report to the state's Department of Education by July 1st each year, with some exceptions for specific types of school-related groups like booster clubs and parent-teacher associations. The bill mandates that these reports must document all receipts and expenditures related to the organization's activities in support of schools. Once submitted, the Department of Education will be required to publish these reports on its website and maintain them for a minimum of three years. The purpose of this legislation appears to be increasing transparency and accountability for organizations that raise money or resources for schools, while exempting smaller, more traditional parent and student support groups from the reporting requirement. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, reflecting the legislature's view that this transparency is important for the public welfare.
