Teachers, Principals and School Personnel - As introduced, requires the office of research and education accountability (OREA), in the office of the comptroller of the treasury, to study and make recommendations for the implementation of an incentive program for educators who have 15 or more years' experience in education; requires OREA to report its findings and recommendations for implementation of the incentive program by December 31, 2025. - Amends TCA Title 8 and Title 49.

HB 778 requires Tennessee's Office of Research and Education Accountability (OREA) to study and recommend an incentive program for educators with 15 or more years of experience in public schools. The bill mandates OREA to submit its findings and recommendations to the education committees of both legislative chambers by December 31, 2025. This is a procedural bill focused solely on directing a study - no new incentives or funding are created by the bill itself. It directly affects educators with significant experience but does not implement any new benefits or policies. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Titles 8 and 49 to establish this study requirement.
