BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE: 
 SECTION 1.  Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-6-3115(a), is amended by adding 
the following as a new subdivision: 
 (4)  If the state does not appropriate sufficient funds to allow an LEA or public

services for the entirety of the upcoming school year for purposes of subdivision 
(a)(2)(A)(v) or (a)(2)(B)(iv), then the LEA or public charter is not required to provide the

 SECTION 2. Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 49-6-1503(b)(1), is amended by

acceleration program, each LEA" and deleting "Subject to available funding, providing" in 
subdivision (C) and substituting "Providing". 
 SECTION 3.  This act takes effect upon becoming a law, the public welfare requiring it.
