HB 1725 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Local Education Agencies - As enacted, revises law relative to LEAs providing enrollment and services to certain students who are the dependent children of service members. - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 1725 requires Tennessee schools to enroll children of military service members under specific rules, with documentation needed within 60 days of enrollment or one year from the service member's duty start date. It ensures schools provide immediate access to existing disability services (like IEPs or 504 plans) upon enrollment. The bill also allows high school students (grades 11-12) to stay in their current school until graduation if military relocation forces a move. This takes effect July 1, 2026.
