House Bill 1511, also known as Senate Bill 1604, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 49-6-1028(b)(2)(A), to enhance the educational curriculum regarding the formation of the governments of the United States and Tennessee. The bill mandates that each local education agency (LEA) and public charter school provide instruction on this topic using federal and state foundational documents. This instruction must be tailored to the appropriate grade level and align with the social studies standards established by the state board.

The amendment involves deleting the first sentence of the existing subdivision and replacing it with the new language that emphasizes the use of foundational documents in teaching government formation. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, highlighting its urgency in promoting civic education in Tennessee schools.
