Senate Bill 1819 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, by introducing a new requirement for public high schools to provide students enrolled in a United States government and civics course with three civic engagement field days. Each field day is designated to correspond with one of the three branches of government: legislative, judicial, and executive. The bill outlines specific structured learning activities that must align with state academic standards, including visits to local government bodies, courthouses, and executive offices to enhance students' understanding of civic engagement.

Additionally, the bill states that if a student is absent on the day of a scheduled class visit, the school is not obligated to reschedule or provide an alternative visit. It also allows schools to prohibit students from attending these visits for disciplinary reasons, in accordance with their local education agency's policies. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law and will apply to the 2026-2027 school year and subsequent years.
