House Bill 1747 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 corresponds to one of the three branches of government: legislative, judicial, and executive. The bill specifies that these field days must include structured learning activities that align with state academic standards. For the legislative branch, students must visit a city council, county commission, or the general assembly; for the judicial branch, they must visit a courthouse; and for the executive branch, they must visit the office of a mayor, county executive, or the governor.

Additionally, the bill states that if a student is absent on the day of a scheduled class visit, the school is not required 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.
