Senate Bill 1494, sponsored by Walley, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 6, which pertains to student discipline. The bill modifies the grade classifications within the existing law by changing references from "grades one through six (1-6)" to "grades one through five (1-5)" and from "grades seven through twelve (7-12)" to "grades six through twelve (6-12)."

This adjustment effectively redefines the grade levels for which certain disciplinary provisions apply, narrowing the scope for grades one through five and expanding it for grades six through twelve. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the changes for the public welfare.
