Education - As enacted, reduces the number and frequency of certain reports the comptroller of the treasury is required to submit to the state board of education and to the chairs of the education committees of the senate and house of representatives regarding the Tennessee Literacy Success Act. - Amends TCA Section 49-1-905 and Section 49-1-910.
SB 208 reduces reporting requirements for Tennessee's comptroller of the treasury related to literacy education programs. It eliminates frequent reports by changing the mandate from unspecified intervals to a single, triennial (every three years) report. This affects the comptroller's office, the state board of education, and legislative education committee chairs, who previously received more frequent updates. The bill streamlines the process by requiring only a single comprehensive report every three years, detailing findings on literacy data and practices.
