Education - As introduced, enacts the "Tennessee School Safety Act of 2026"; requires a student who has been expelled on two or more separate occasions for the zero tolerance offense of threatening mass violence on school property or at a school-related activity to submit to a psychiatric examination conducted by a medical professional; prohibits the student from returning to school or a school-related activity until the medical professional finds that the student is no longer a threat to the school and can safely return to school. - Amends TCA Section 39-13-813 and Title 49, Chapter 6.

HB 1507, the "Tennessee School Safety Act of 2026," requires students expelled twice for threatening mass violence on school property or at school activities to undergo a psychiatric evaluation by a medical professional before returning to school. The bill mandates that school administrators cannot allow such students to return until they receive documentation confirming the student is no longer a threat and can safely rejoin school. It amends Tennessee Code Annotated sections 39-13-813 and 49-6-3401 to enforce this requirement, directly affecting students with repeated expulsions for violent threats. The law takes effect July 1, 2026, and focuses on safety assessments rather than punitive measures.
