House Bill 664 and Senate Bill 712 propose amendments to Tennessee education law by making significant changes to existing sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated. Specifically, Section 49-6-2406 is entirely deleted, and in Section 49-6-2407, references to "49-6-2406" in subsections (a) and (e) are replaced with "49-6-2405." This indicates a restructuring of the accountability measures within the education system.

Additionally, the bills introduce a new provision that prohibits local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools from using public funds to initiate or maintain civil actions against the state or its agencies regarding school or district accountability measures. This aims to limit legal challenges to accountability standards set forth in the education code, reinforcing the authority of state-established measures. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of these changes for public welfare.
