Bill Summary
As enacted, excludes a person or entity that operates a family child care home and obtains a United States department of defense certificate to operate from being subject to licensure as long as such family child care home provides child care services only to an eligible patron. - Amends TCA Title 71, Chapter 3.
AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee law to exempt certain family child care homes from state licensure requirements. Specifically, a person or entity operating a family child care home that has obtained a certificate from the United States Department of Defense (DoD) will not need a state license, provided they only care for children of eligible patrons, which is defined by DoD regulations. This change aims to streamline operations for child care providers serving military families by recognizing the DoD's certification as sufficient for these specific circumstances.
