Senate Bill 2463 amends existing Tennessee law regarding child support obligations. The bill stipulates that parents are required to continue supporting their child after the age of eighteen if the child is enrolled in an accredited high school. This support obligation lasts until the child graduates from high school or until the class of which the child is a member graduates, but it cannot extend beyond the child's nineteenth birthday unless the child is handicapped or disabled.

Additionally, the bill modifies the criteria under which child support obligations may be terminated. It specifies that support may cease when the child turns eighteen and has graduated from high school, or when the class of which the child is a member has graduated, provided that the obligor has submitted appropriate documentation to the department. The bill ensures that support obligations do not continue past the age of nineteen, except in cases of disability, aligning with the changes made in the previous sections.
