Senate Bill 2463, also known as House Bill 2443, amends various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated regarding child support obligations. The bill stipulates that parents are required to support their children beyond the age of eighteen if the child is enrolled in an accredited high school. This support obligation continues 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 will cease when the child turns eighteen and graduates from high school, or when the class of which the child is a member graduates, 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 outlined in the law.
