House Bill 732, also known as Senate Bill 1162, 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 administration of these tests is interrupted due to an act of God or other uncontrollable circumstances.

The bill emphasizes the importance of ensuring that students have the opportunity to complete their assessments despite unforeseen disruptions. It is set to take effect upon becoming law and will apply to the 2025-2026 school year and each subsequent school year.
