AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 13, relative to charter schools.

Summary

HB2483 makes a narrow change to Tennessee’s charter school law by extending a statutory deadline in Tennessee Code Annotated § 49-13-128(f). Specifically, it changes the date from December 11 to December 15. The bill does not create a new program or alter the overall charter school framework; it simply gives affected parties four additional days to meet the existing deadline. Because the bill amends Title 49, Chapter 13, it directly affects the state’s charter school authorization and related administrative timeline. The practical impact is limited to charter school applicants, sponsors, and any state or local education officials responsible for processing filings or decisions tied to that deadline. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.

Impact

The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 13, by changing a deadline in Section 49-13-128(f) from December 11 to December 15. This is a targeted statutory revision affecting the timing of charter school-related actions, likely in the application, approval, or administrative process governed by that section. It does not otherwise modify substantive charter school policy.

Sentiment

The available record shows no committee transcripts, recorded votes, or other discussion, so there is no documented opposition or support to gauge. Based on the bill’s narrow, technical nature and lack of controversy in the provided materials, the measure appears to be procedural and likely noncontroversial.

Contention

No specific points of contention are documented in the provided materials. If any concerns existed, they would most likely relate to the practical effect of shifting a charter school deadline by four days, but no witnesses, legislators, or stakeholders are identified as raising objections or support.
