Education, Higher - As enacted, caps at $10 million per fiscal year the total amount of funds in the lottery for education account that may be transferred to the Tennessee Promise scholarship special reserve account. - Amends TCA Section 49-4-708.

SB 2159 caps annual transfers from Tennessee's lottery for education funds to the Tennessee Promise scholarship program at $10 million per fiscal year. It requires that any excess funds beyond a specified reserve amount be transferred to the scholarship account, but limits each year's transfer to no more than $10 million. This directly affects the Tennessee Promise scholarship program, which provides tuition assistance to eligible students. The bill modifies existing funding rules to ensure a predictable annual allocation without increasing overall state funding for the program.
