HB 68 changes a Tennessee law requiring the state Department of Education to notify local schools about mental health grants. Specifically, it moves the deadline for this notification from October 15 to October 1 each year. This affects all local education agencies (LEAs) in Tennessee that receive state or federal grants to expand school-based mental health services. The bill directly alters the timing of this notification, giving schools earlier access to funding information. The change is procedural and affects only the administrative timeline for grant distribution.
