House Bill 87, sponsored by Slater, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 49-1-907, regarding the submission of an early grades reading report by the Department of Education. The bill replaces the first sentence of the existing section, establishing that the department must submit this report to the education committee of the Senate and the education committees of the House of Representatives by October 15 of each year.
