Comptroller, State - As introduced, requires the office of research and education accountability in the office of the comptroller of the treasury to annually report information about the students participating in the education freedom scholarship program to the general assembly by October 30. - Amends Chapter __ of the Public Acts of 2025 (1st Ex. Sess. – SB 6001 / HB 6004); and TCA Title 49, Chapter 10, Part 14 and Title 49, Chapter 6.
SB 1338 requires Tennessee's Office of Research and Education Accountability (OREA) to annually report specific data about students in the Education Freedom Scholarship Program to the General Assembly by October 30. The report must include: the total number of scholarship recipients, how many have used the program for two or more years, how many were previously enrolled in public schools, and how many were first-time eligible students. This bill directly affects the scholarship program by mandating transparent data collection about its participants, and it provides legislators with annual accountability metrics. The requirement applies to the program's current school year data, with reports due starting in 2025.
