TN HB2000

Private postsecondary institutions, including religiously affiliated colleges with a campus in Tennessee, may now establish public charter schools

Nonpublic schools (as defined in § 49-6-3001) are explicitly prohibited from establishing public charter schools

Charter school sponsors cannot be for-profit entities, nonpublic schools, or postsecondary institutions lacking regional accreditation

Statutory language is updated throughout to replace "public institution of higher education" with "postsecondary institution," expanding eligibility beyond public universities

Takes effect immediately upon becoming law
