Bill > SB1581

This bill amends Tennessee law to adjust the criteria for "limited respite care services programs," which are programs operated by religious institutions or organizations offering relief to primary caregivers of adults who can function in a group setting and manage basic personal needs. Specifically, the bill increases the maximum number of hours a week an adult can attend such a program from sixteen to twenty-four, and the maximum number of adults a program can care for at one time from twenty to thirty, while still qualifying for an exemption from licensing requirements. These changes aim to provide more flexibility for these programs in serving adults with limitations and their caregivers.
