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 introduces a definition for the CLT and modifies 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 updates the criteria for admission and scholarship eligibility to include scores from the CLT.

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