House Bill 793, sponsored by Lamberth, amends Tennessee Code Annotated by adding a new provision to Title 49, Chapter 6, Part 30. This new section grants local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools the authority to enroll or refuse to enroll students who are unlawfully present in the United States, regardless of any conflicting laws.

The bill emphasizes the discretion of educational institutions in handling the enrollment of such students, thereby potentially impacting the educational opportunities available to individuals in this situation. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting its urgency in addressing the issue of unlawful presence in the context of education.
