Senate Bill 273 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-14-136, by redesignating the existing subsection (b) as subsection (c) and introducing a new subsection (b). This new provision clarifies that it is not considered a violation for school employees to alter, create, or duplicate a student's grade in educational documents if such actions are a result of the student participating in a program that allows them to retake a failed course, exam, or assignment to earn credit.

The bill aims to provide clarity and support for educational practices that enable students to improve their academic performance without facing legal repercussions for grade modifications. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that schools can implement these changes in a timely manner.
