HB 1228 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Education - As introduced, authorizes the board of regents to produce and make available a copy of the board's tenure policy in an electronic format or in a printed, physical medium. - Amends TCA Title 8; Title 49 and Title 62.

HB 1228 requires Tennessee's Board of Regents to provide its tenure policy in either electronic or printed format upon request. This bill amends Tennessee Code Sections 49-8-301(a), 8, 49, and 62 to establish this accessibility requirement. The policy directly affects the Board of Regents and public university faculty whose tenure decisions rely on the published policy. It does not change tenure standards or procedures, only how the existing policy document is made available to stakeholders. The bill is procedural, focusing on document distribution rather than policy content.
