HB 880 requires Tennessee's Department of Education to compile and annually publish a list of all existing teacher training requirements for K-12 educators working in public schools or charter schools. The department must post this list on its website by June 30 each year and submit it to the relevant legislative education committees. This bill does not change current training standards but mandates transparency by centralizing existing requirements in one accessible location. It directly affects the Department of Education and the legislative committees overseeing educator licensure.
