HB 1196 requires the Tennessee State Board of Education to publish the curriculum for the statewide DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program on its official website. This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, to add this transparency requirement. The key provision mandates that the state board make the DARE curriculum publicly accessible online, directly affecting the State Board of Education's reporting obligations. The bill does not change the DARE program itself but ensures its curriculum is available for public review. It takes effect upon becoming law.
