State Government - As enacted, requires either the executive head or president of each public institution of higher education, or the chief executive head of any of its campuses to submit an annual attestation of compliance to the comptroller of the treasury no later than January 1, 2027, and each January 1 thereafter, that such entity has not implemented a discriminatory preference to increase diversity, equity, or inclusion; authorizes the attorney general to make certain related investigations. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7 and Title 49.

HB 1664 requires state agencies, local governments (including counties, cities, and metropolitan areas), and public universities in Tennessee to annually declare to the state comptroller that they have not implemented discriminatory preferences to advance diversity, equity, or inclusion. The executive head of each covered entity must submit this declaration by January 1 each year, starting in 2027. The bill amends Tennessee Code sections governing state departments, county government, municipal government, metropolitan government, and public higher education to establish this requirement. It is currently under review by the State & Local Government Committee.
