Senate Bill 1423, also known as House Bill 1377, proposes an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, regarding the reporting of student reading levels. The bill mandates that a student's report card must include a statement indicating the student's current reading grade level. This addition aims to enhance transparency and provide parents and guardians with clearer insights into their child's reading proficiency.

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 the new reporting requirement.
