Education - As enacted, creates an early educator workforce development resource task force. - Amends TCA Title 4 and Title 49.
HB 2426 deletes two outdated provisions from Tennessee law: a 2023-2024 pilot program that awarded grant funds to five local education agencies for preschool initiatives, and a preschool task force created to develop a strategic plan by June 2024. The bill specifically removes Section 49-6-109 of Tennessee Code, which governed these expired efforts. It directly affects the five local education agencies that previously participated in the pilot program and the task force members. This is a procedural update to remove obsolete language, not a new policy change. The bill amends Titles 4 and 49 of Tennessee Code.
