House Bill 880, also known as Senate Bill 1147, amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to enhance the transparency and accessibility of educator training information. The bill mandates the Department of Education to compile and publish a comprehensive list of state board-approved educator preparation providers and the associated teacher training requirements for licensed educators teaching grades K-12. This list must be made available on the department's website and submitted annually by June 30 to the education committees of both the Senate and the House of Representatives that oversee educator licensure.

The new legal language added to Section 49-1-302 establishes the requirement for this annual publication and submission, ensuring that relevant stakeholders have access to up-to-date information regarding educator preparation. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing its importance for public welfare.
