Education - As introduced, establishes that a public institution of education may provide an opportunity or benefit exclusively to one sex through a program if the institution provides a substantially similar or reasonably comparable opportunity or benefit to the opposite sex through a different program. - Amends TCA Title 49.

Summary

The bill adds a new exception to Tennessee's education anti‑discrimination rules, letting public schools give a benefit or opportunity only to one sex as long as they provide a substantially similar benefit to the opposite sex in a different program. It affects all public K‑12 and higher‑education institutions and could impact how gender‑based activities, scholarships, or athletics are structured. The change is intended to give schools flexibility while still requiring comparable access for both sexes.
