House Bill 1344, also known as Senate Bill 1359, amends Tennessee Code Annotated regarding higher education reporting requirements. The bill specifically modifies Section 49-7-112(e) by deleting the first sentence of the subsection and replacing it with a new requirement that the commission must provide a copy of its report to the governor and relevant legislative committees by July 1, 2025, and annually on that date thereafter. This change aims to ensure that key stakeholders in higher education are consistently informed about the commission's findings and activities.

The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the changes to enhance oversight and communication within the state's higher education framework.
