House Bill 88, sponsored by Hakeem, proposes an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 49-3-359(a), which pertains to funding for teachers' supplies. The bill seeks to increase the amount allocated for teachers' supplies from "two hundred dollars ($200)" to "five hundred dollars ($500)." This change aims to provide educators with more financial resources to support their classroom needs.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not constitute an appropriation of funds, meaning that no funds will be obligated or spent under this act unless they are specifically appropriated by the General Appropriations Act. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on July 1, 2025, contingent upon the public welfare.
