HB 87 (The Learning Pod Protection Act) is a procedural bill that amends Tennessee Code Annotated § 49-1-907 to require the Tennessee Department of Education to submit an annual early grades reading report to the Senate and House education committees by October 15 each year. The bill does not create new protections for learning pods (a term not referenced in the actual text) but instead modifies an existing reporting requirement. This change directly affects the Department of Education by establishing a specific annual deadline for this report. The bill became law on May 13, 2025 (Public Chapter 305), with no substantive policy changes beyond the reporting schedule.
