House Bill 88 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 teachers with greater financial support for classroom supplies, recognizing the increasing costs associated with educational materials.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not appropriate funds, meaning that any financial resources for this initiative will only be available if specifically allocated by the General Appropriations Act. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on July 1, 2025, contingent upon the public welfare.
