Senate Bill 1327, also known as House Bill 1276, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, concerning education. The bill specifically modifies Section 49-7-142(c) by deleting the requirement for the board of regents, the University of Tennessee, and the Tennessee Independent Colleges and Universities Association to provide a report by April 1, 2009, regarding their efforts to deter copyright infringement on their computer and network resources. This requirement is replaced with a simpler clause that states, "If."

The bill is designed to streamline the reporting process related to copyright infringement efforts in higher education institutions in Tennessee. It takes effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its enactment.
