Education - As enacted, authorizes a local education agency to implement the law enforcement against drugs and violence (L.E.A.D.) program in schools operated by the LEA; authorizes an LEA's implementation of the L.E.A.D. program to be in lieu of the DARE program. - Amends TCA Title 39, Chapter 17 and Title 49, Chapter 1.

SB 683 allows Tennessee school districts to replace the DARE drug prevention program with a new "Law Enforcement Against Drugs and Violence" (L.E.A.D.) program in K-12 schools. The bill amends Tennessee statutes to update all references from "DARE" to include "DARE or L.E.A.D.," ensuring school districts can choose either program. This change directly affects local education agencies (school districts) operating public schools, providing them with an alternative to the existing DARE program under state law. The bill does not create new funding or requirements but modifies statutory language to accommodate the L.E.A.D. program as a permissible option.
