House Bill 559 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 49-6-2602(3)(A), to expand the eligibility criteria for education savings accounts. The bill introduces two new subdivisions that specify that a student qualifies if they were either enrolled in and attended a Tennessee public school for one full school year during the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, or 2021-2022 school years, or if they were eligible for the first time to enroll in a Tennessee public school during those same school years.
This legislation aims to provide more opportunities for students to access education savings accounts, thereby enhancing educational choices for families in Tennessee. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of its implementation for the public welfare.
