Education, Higher - As introduced, increases, from 30 to 45 days before the start of the academic term, the time by which a state government entity that establishes a scholarship using an educational investment plan must select the scholarship beneficiary and notify the board of trustees of the college savings trust fund program of the beneficiary. - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8; Title 9; Title 10; Title 12; Title 49 and Title 50.

SB 1671 extends the deadline for state government entities managing scholarship programs from 30 to 45 days before the academic term begins to select scholarship beneficiaries and notify the college savings trust fund board. This change directly affects state agencies and programs that administer scholarships funded through educational investment plans. The bill amends specific Tennessee Code sections (Titles 4, 8, 9, 10, 12, 49, and 50) to implement this timeline adjustment. The policy change provides scholarship administrators with additional time to finalize selections and coordinate with the college savings program.
