HB 1385 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Education - As enacted, requires a school support organization and a group or organization that collects and raises money, materials, property, or securities while representing itself to be a school support organization to annually provide a detailed report of the organization's receipts and expenditures while representing itself to be a school support organization to the department of education by July 1 each year, unless the school support organization is a booster club, parent teacher association, parent teacher organization, or parent teacher support association; requires the department to publish the reports on the department's website for at least three years from the date on which the report was submitted. - Amends TCA Title 49.

HB 1385 requires most school support organizations (excluding booster clubs, PTAs, and similar parent groups) to submit detailed annual financial reports to Tennessee's Department of Education by July 1 each year. These reports must detail all money received and spent by the organization. The Department of Education must then publish these reports online for at least three years. This law aims to increase transparency around school funding by making financial details publicly accessible. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 49.
