SB 1320 removes an obsolete requirement that the Tennessee Department of Education, in partnership with the State Board and the Tennessee Higher Education Commission, must submit a report by July 1, 2024, to legislative committees about implementing student literacy legislation. The bill deletes the specific provision (TCA 49-1-908) that created this reporting duty. This change directly eliminates a mandated task for state education agencies. The bill amends relevant sections of the Tennessee Code to effect this deletion.
