Senate Bill 7004 and House Bill 7005 propose amendments to the Tennessee Code Annotated regarding private schools. The bill removes the term "K-12" from Section 49-50-803, which may broaden the scope of the section to include various educational levels without specifically designating them as K-12. Additionally, the bill introduces a new subsection that defines "private school" as a private institution serving students in grades pre-kindergarten through twelve (pre-K-12), aligning the definition with existing law in Section 49-6-3001(c).

The bill aims to clarify the definition of private schools within the context of Tennessee law and ensure that the regulations apply to a wider range of educational institutions. The changes are intended to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the public welfare in the legislative process.
