SB 834 requires Tennessee's Higher Education Commission to create a report detailing state funding per student for each land grant institution in the state from 1987 to 2020. The report must be submitted to the Tennessee General Assembly by December 31, 2025, after consultation with the Department of Finance and Administration. This bill is a procedural reporting requirement only, not a policy change affecting current funding levels or institutions. It directly affects the Higher Education Commission and the General Assembly by mandating a historical analysis of past appropriations.
