Senate Bill 305, also known as House Bill 744, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 4, by introducing a new provision that prohibits organizations or entities receiving state financial assistance from discriminating against individuals based on race, color, religion, or national origin. Specifically, the bill states that these organizations cannot deny benefits, exclude individuals from participation, or engage in discriminatory practices against those who are otherwise eligible for the programs or activities funded by the state.

The bill aims to enhance protections against discrimination in state-funded programs, ensuring that all eligible individuals have equal access to benefits and participation opportunities. It is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
