Local Education Agencies - As introduced, requires each LEA to compile a list of all school buildings in the district that use natural gas for the provision of one or more utilities and to post the list on its website no later than October 1 of each year. - Amends TCA Title 7; Title 49 and Title 65.
SB 2573 requires Tennessee school districts (Local Education Agencies or LEAs) to compile and publicly post online, by October 1 each year, a list of all school buildings using natural gas for utilities like heating or cooking, along with the names of the gas suppliers serving those buildings. The bill amends Tennessee law to mandate this annual transparency requirement for all public school districts. It directly affects school districts by creating a new annual reporting obligation for their websites. The key provision is the mandatory public posting of facility-level natural gas usage data, with no additional regulatory requirements for the gas usage itself.
