SB 1023 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Education - As introduced, removes obsolete provision that required the department of education to submit a report on exclusionary discipline practices regarding students in pre-kindergarten through kindergarten to legislative committees with subject matter jurisdiction on education no later than May 1, 2018. - Amends TCA Title 49.

SB 1023 removes an outdated requirement in Tennessee law that previously mandated the Department of Education to submit a report on exclusionary discipline practices for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students to education committees by May 1, 2018. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, by deleting the specific reporting provision (Section 49-6-3024(d)) and adjusting related language. This change directly affects the Tennessee Department of Education, eliminating a reporting duty that expired years ago. The bill makes no new policy changes but updates the code to reflect the obsolete nature of the requirement.
