School Vouchers - As introduced, repeals the "Tennessee Education Savings Account Pilot Program," the "Education Freedom Scholarship Act," and the "Individualized Education Act." - Amends TCA Title 49.
HB 2286 repeals three existing school voucher programs in Tennessee: the "Tennessee Education Savings Account Pilot Program," the "Education Freedom Scholarship Act," and the "Individualized Education Act." The bill directly affects students and families currently participating in these programs by ending their eligibility for state-funded private school tuition assistance. Key provisions remove these specific laws from Tennessee Code, effectively terminating the programs' legal authority. The repeal takes effect July 1, 2026, phasing out the programs over time. This is a direct policy change eliminating current school choice funding mechanisms.
