Bill > SB1286

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 71, specifically Section 71-3-520(a), which relates to the child care improvement fund and pilot program. Currently, the law requires grants under this program to be provided exclusively to nonprofit organizations for establishing or improving child care agencies. The proposed legislation removes the phrase "to nonprofit organizations" from the existing statute, effectively expanding the potential grant recipients to include not just nonprofits, but potentially other types of organizations or entities involved in child care. By broadening the eligibility criteria, the bill aims to provide more flexibility in how child care improvement grants can be awarded, potentially allowing for a wider range of organizations to receive funding to support and enhance child care services. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, with the stated purpose of serving the public welfare.
