House Bill 226, sponsored by Haston, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, concerning education funding. The bill modifies Section 49-3-105(b) by redesignating the existing subdivision (5) as subdivision (6) and introducing a new subdivision (5). This new provision establishes a weighted allocation of three percent (3%) for students residing in local education agencies (LEAs) with a membership between 1,001 and 1,250.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of adjusting funding allocations to better support students in specific LEA membership ranges. This change aims to enhance educational resources and opportunities for students in smaller districts.
