House Bill 105, sponsored by Lamberth, seeks to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 71-3-520(a), concerning the child care improvement fund. The bill proposes to remove the phrase "to nonprofit organizations" from the first sentence of the subsection, thereby broadening the scope of entities that may be eligible for funding under this program.
The bill is designed to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of improving child care resources in Tennessee. By eliminating the restriction to nonprofit organizations, the legislation aims to enhance access to funding for a wider range of child care providers, ultimately benefiting the state's child care system.
Statutes affected: Introduced: 71-3-520(a), 71-3-520
