Bill > HB0105

This bill modifies Tennessee's existing child care improvement fund statute by removing language that previously restricted grants under the child care improvement pilot program to only nonprofit organizations. By deleting the phrase "to nonprofit organizations" from the existing law, the bill expands potential grant eligibility, which could now include for-profit child care agencies, governmental entities, or other types of organizations seeking to establish or make improvements to child care agencies. The change aims to broaden the pool of potential grant recipients and potentially increase opportunities for child care agency development and enhancement across Tennessee. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare.
