Senate Bill 2634, also known as House Bill 2167, amends the Tennessee Code Annotated to establish an academic holiday on general election days for all public institutions of higher education in the state. The new subsection added to Section 2-1-106 defines "academic holiday" as a complete cessation of all academic obligations, which includes in-person classes, online classes, exams, quizzes, assignments, and any other tasks that could impact a student's grade or participation in a course.

This legislation aims to encourage student participation in elections by ensuring that they are not burdened with academic responsibilities on election days. The bill will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of facilitating civic engagement among students in Tennessee.
