House Bill 750 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 49-6-809(h), to enhance reporting requirements for law enforcement agencies regarding school security. The bill mandates that the chief law enforcement officer of each agency with jurisdiction over schools that employ armed security officers must submit an annual report to various state officials, including the governor and education committee chairs. This report, due by September 1 each year, must detail any security deficiencies identified at the schools and provide recommendations for improvements. If multiple law enforcement agencies are involved in a county, they are required to submit a single, consolidated report.

The bill aims to improve school safety by ensuring that law enforcement agencies systematically assess and report on security measures in schools. By consolidating reports from multiple agencies, the legislation seeks to streamline communication and enhance the effectiveness of security recommendations. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of addressing school security concerns.
