Tenn. Code Ann. § 49-6-2609

Participating school or provider not state agent — No expansion of regulatory authority

Acts 2019, ch. 506, § 1.

(1) A participating school or provider is autonomous and not an agent of this state.

(2) The creation of the ESA program does not expand the regulatory authority of this state, the officers of this state, or an LEA to impose any additional regulation of participating schools or providers beyond the rules and regulations necessary to enforce the requirements of the program.

(3) This state gives participating schools and providers maximum freedom to provide for the educational needs of participating students without governmental control. Neither a participating school nor a provider is required to alter its creed, practices, admissions policies, or curriculum in order to accept participating students, other than as is necessary to comply with the requirements of the program.
