House Bill 157, sponsored by Eldridge, seeks to amend various sections of the Tennessee Code Annotated to replace the term "adult day care" with "adult day services." This change is reflected in multiple sections, including but not limited to Sections 4-3-1205, 39-17-1802, 39-17-1803, 52-8-203, and 71-1-105. The bill aims to standardize the terminology used throughout the code, ensuring consistency in the language related to services provided for adults.

In addition to the amendments in specific sections, the bill also requests the code commission to update the headings in any compilations or publications of the Tennessee Code Annotated to reflect this new terminology. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the public welfare in this legislative change.
