Senate Bill 1604, also known as House Bill 1511, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, to enhance the educational instruction regarding the formation of the governments of the United States and Tennessee. The bill specifically modifies Section 49-6-1028(b)(2)(A) by deleting the first sentence of the subdivision and replacing it with a new requirement that each Local Education Agency (LEA) and public charter school must instruct students about these governmental formations using federal and state foundational documents. This instruction must be appropriate for the students' grade level and align with the social studies standards adopted by the state board.

The bill emphasizes the importance of teaching foundational governmental concepts to students, ensuring that the instruction is consistent with established educational standards. It is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting the urgency of implementing these educational requirements for the benefit of public welfare.
