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 concerning child care agencies by creating an exemption from state licensure requirements for family child care homes that have obtained a certificate from the United States Department of Defense, provided they only care for children of eligible patrons, which is defined by federal regulations (32 CFR 79.3) as individuals associated with the military. This change, taking effect on July 1, 2026, aims to streamline operations for these specific child care providers without compromising safety, as they are already certified by a federal agency.
