House Bill 75 amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to include the Classic Learning Test (CLT) as an acceptable assessment for college admissions and other educational requirements. The bill defines "CLT" as the Classic Learning Test administered by Classic Learning Initiatives, LLC, and updates existing language to incorporate the CLT alongside the ACT and SAT. Specifically, it replaces references to "ACT or SAT score" with "ACT, SAT, or CLT score" and establishes that a composite score on the CLT can be used in place of ACT or SAT scores for various educational criteria.

Additionally, the bill allows public institutions of higher education to accept scores from the ACT, SAT, or CLT for admission purposes. It also mandates that the Tennessee student assistance corporation create rules to determine concordant equivalent scores between the CLT and the ACT/SAT. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that the CLT is recognized as a valid option for students seeking admission to higher education institutions in Tennessee.
