House Bill 1178, sponsored by Sherrell, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, concerning education. The bill specifically modifies Section 49-8-117 by deleting the existing subsection (c) and replacing it with new language that mandates the board of regents, a state university board, or the board of trustees of the University of Tennessee to provide a report summarizing grievance activities from the previous year. This report is to be submitted upon request from the education committee of the senate or the relevant committee in the house of representatives.

The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in educational institutions regarding grievance activities. This change aims to ensure that legislative committees have access to relevant information that can inform their oversight and policy-making responsibilities in the education sector.
