House Bill 157, sponsored by Eldridge, proposes amendments to 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, 52-8-203, and 71-1-105. The bill aims to standardize terminology across the legal framework regarding services for adults, ensuring consistency in language used in state law.

In addition to the term changes, the bill requests the code commission to update headings in any compilations or publications of the Tennessee Code Annotated to reflect the new terminology. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of clarity and uniformity in the legal language surrounding adult services in Tennessee.
