House Bill 1377, also known as Senate Bill 1423, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, by introducing a new requirement for student report cards. The bill mandates that each student's report card must include a statement indicating the student's current reading grade level. This addition aims to enhance transparency regarding students' reading proficiency and provide valuable information to parents and educators.

The act is set to take effect upon becoming law and will be applicable starting with the 2025-2026 school year and for subsequent years. This timeline allows for schools to prepare for the implementation of this new reporting requirement.
