House Bill 1805, also known as Senate Bill 1890, amends Tennessee Code Annotated to require local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools to provide age- and grade-appropriate instruction on the history of communism. The bill outlines specific content areas that must be covered, including the history of communism in the U.S., atrocities committed under communist regimes, a comparative discussion of political ideologies, the threat of communism throughout the twentieth century, and the policies of Cuba and the spread of communism in Latin America.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Education develop guidance to assist schools in implementing this instruction, with input from individuals who have experienced communism or organizations dedicated to its victims. The act will take effect upon becoming law for the purpose of developing guidance, while the full implementation of the educational requirements will begin in the 2026-2027 school year.
