House Bill 88, sponsored by Hakeem, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-3-359(a), by increasing the funding limit for teachers' supplies from two hundred dollars ($200) to five hundred dollars ($500). This change aims to provide greater financial support for teachers in acquiring necessary supplies for their classrooms.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not appropriate any funds; thus, no funds will be obligated or expended unless they are specifically appropriated by the General Appropriations Act. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, contingent upon the public welfare.
