Comptroller, State - As enacted, prohibits an LEA or public charter school from using public funds to initiate or maintain any civil action or proceeding against this state or an agency or officer of this state to challenge a school or district accountability measure established under state law. - Amends TCA Title 49.
SB 712 removes an outdated requirement from Tennessee law that previously mandated the comptroller's office of research and education accountability to submit a report about community schools to education committees by November 1, 2018. The bill deletes Section 49-6-2406 and updates related references in the law to eliminate this obsolete reporting obligation. This is a procedural cleanup that affects the comptroller's office and education committees by removing a now-inactive administrative task. The bill does not change community school policies or create new requirements, only removing a specific, expired reporting mandate.
