Bill > HB2167

This bill mandates that all public colleges and universities in Tennessee must observe an "academic holiday" on every general election day, meaning all academic responsibilities, including classes, assignments, and exams that impact a student's grade, will cease on these days. This change is being made to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 2, which deals with elections, and various chapters within Title 49, which pertains to education. The purpose of this legislation is to allow students and faculty to participate in the election process without academic penalty.
