Schools, Charter - As introduced, deletes antiquated language regarding the state board of education being an authorizer for public charter schools which expired at 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2021. - Amends Chapter __ of the Public Acts of 2025 (1st Ex. Sess. – SB 6001 / HB 6004); and TCA Title 8 and Title 49.

SB 1121 deletes outdated language in Tennessee law that incorrectly identified the state board of education as the authorizer for public charter schools, a role that expired on June 30, 2021. The bill updates the state code by removing obsolete references and revising Section 49-13-110(d) to clarify the petition process for charter schools seeking to amend or terminate their agreements. This change directly affects public charter schools and their governing bodies by aligning the legal framework with current authorizer practices. The bill focuses on administrative clarity rather than new policy, removing expired provisions and updating procedural language.
