Local Education Agencies - As enacted, enacts the "Tennessee Religious Freedom Act," which authorizes a local board of education to open a meeting of the board with a prayer led by a member of the board as long as the prayer does not require participation of any person in attendance at the meeting and no person is harassed or coerced to participate in the prayer. - Amends TCA Title 49.

This bill allows Tennessee local school boards to open their public meetings with a prayer led by a board member, provided no attendee is required to participate and no one is harassed or coerced into joining. It directly affects all local school boards in Tennessee by changing their meeting procedures. The key provision requires that any opening prayer remain voluntary and non-coercive, aligning with recent Supreme Court rulings on religious expression in public settings. The law would take effect July 1, 2026.
