SB 1856 changes the annual deadline for Tennessee's Department of Education to submit its report on the school safety alert grant pilot fund from February 1 to January 15, effective for reports due in 2027 and beyond. This amendment modifies Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Section 49-1-225(f), directly affecting the Department of Education by requiring an earlier submission date. The bill does not alter the report's content or the grant program's requirements, only the timing of the submission. The change aims to provide earlier access to data on the grant program's implementation.
