House Bill 7005 amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding private schools by making specific changes to the language in Section 49-50-803. The bill removes the term "K-12" from the section entirely, which may broaden the scope of the law to include various educational levels without specifying a range. Additionally, it 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 is designed 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 act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the changes for the public welfare.
