Senate Bill 1018 amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding public charter schools, specifically addressing the fees that can be charged to students transferring from one local education agency (LEA) to another within the same county. The bill modifies Section 49-13-106(e) by replacing the reference to "49-13-113(b)" with "49-13-113" and introduces a new provision that prohibits public charter schools from charging registration fees, enrollment fees, or tuition to students who transfer from another LEA within the same county.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 49-13-113(c)(3) to include similar language that reinforces the prohibition on charging fees for students transferring from one LEA to a public charter school within the same county. This legislation aims to ensure that students can transition between schools without the burden of additional financial costs, thereby promoting accessibility to public charter schools. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
