Senate Bill 733, also known as House Bill 1135, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, concerning educational testing. The bill specifically modifies Section 49-1-907 by deleting the first sentence and replacing it with a new requirement that the Department of Education must submit an early grades reading report to the education committees of both the Senate and the House of Representatives by December 31 of each year.
This change aims to ensure that lawmakers receive timely information regarding early reading initiatives and outcomes, thereby enhancing oversight and accountability in education. The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the matter for public welfare.
