House Bill 732 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 6, by adding a new section that mandates the development or approval of a policy by the Department of Education. This policy will allow local education agencies (LEAs) or public charter schools to permit students to retake the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) tests, including end-of-course assessments, if the testing is interrupted due to an act of God or other uncontrollable circumstances.

The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law and will apply to the 2025-2026 school year and each subsequent school year. This legislative change aims to ensure that students are not penalized for circumstances beyond their control that may disrupt their ability to complete state-mandated assessments.
