Bill > HB2125

This bill requires the Tennessee Department of Education to work with the Department of Safety to create guidelines for Local Education Agencies (LEAs), which are local school districts, and public charter schools that offer driver education and training courses. These guidelines will ensure that the courses include important information such as safety tips for driving and sharing the road, using the official driver license manual developed by the Department of Safety for instruction, and educating students about the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and the risks associated with distracted driving, like using a cell phone. The bill aims to expand driver education in public schools and promote highway safety, with these changes taking effect on July 1, 2026.
