SB 1855 extends the deadline for Tennessee's Department of Correction to submit its annual report on higher education opportunities for incarcerated individuals. The bill changes the submission date from January 1 to January 15 each year. The report must be sent to specific legislative committees: the judiciary and education committees in the Senate, and the criminal justice and education administration committees in the House. This adjustment provides the Department of Correction with an additional two weeks to prepare the report without altering its content or requirements.
