Amends Tennessee public school enrollment requirements for non-resident students.

The bill amends Tennessee Code to require parents or guardians of students enrolling in public schools to submit documentation proving U.S. residency or citizenship. Acceptable documents include a birth certificate, voter registration, passport, or military ID. Parents or guardians employed by the school or who have previously submitted such documentation are exempt. Non-resident students must pay a fee equivalent to the per-pupil state and local funds for the school district. The changes apply from the 2025-2026 school year.
