HB0708 grants the chair of Tennessee's state board of education the authority to issue subpoenas for investigations and accountability hearings.
HB0708 amends Tennessee Code Annotated to allow the chair of the state board of education, or their designee, to issue subpoenas for persons and items relevant to investigations or accountability hearings. This includes subpoenas for documents, videos, and audio recordings. Investigations may be related to the revocation, suspension, refusal to issue, or renewal of a license for a licensed educator. Accountability hearings may involve local education agencies operating public or charter schools that received a "D" or "F" letter grade. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
