Summary

The School Mental Health Transparency Act directs the Tennessee Department of Education to create and maintain an online list of mental‑health services available to students, consulting multiple state agencies. Each public school must use that list to produce its own student‑specific resource list, distribute it annually to parents or adult students, and post it on the school website. The law aims to improve awareness of available mental‑health support without creating new programs or costs.
