Senate Bill 1708, also known as House Bill 1631, amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning private schools. The bill removes the term "K-12" from Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-50-803 and Section 39-17-1309(e)(9). In its place, the bill introduces a new definition for "private school" in Section 49-50-803, specifying that it refers to a private school serving students in grades pre-kindergarten through twelve (pre-K-12), as defined in Section 49-6-3001(c).

The changes aim to clarify the definition of private schools within the context of Tennessee law, ensuring that the terminology accurately reflects the range of grades served by these institutions. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the legislative changes for the public welfare.
