4-1-404. English — Official and legal language. —

English is hereby established as the official and legal language of Tennessee. All communications and publications, including ballots, produced by governmental entities in Tennessee shall be in English, and instruction in the public schools and colleges of Tennessee shall be conducted in English unless the nature of the course would require otherwise.

[Acts 1984, ch. 821, § 1.]

It's already the law in Tennessee. Anytime our local and state governments operate in any other language, they are violating state law.
