House Bill 936 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 71-3-501(12), which pertains to child care regulations. The bill modifies the definition of familial relationships by deleting the phrase "siblings of the whole or half-blood, step-siblings, nieces, nephews" and replacing it with "siblings of the whole or half-blood, step-siblings, nieces or nephews of the whole or half-blood." This change clarifies the relationships that are recognized under the law.

The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of the changes for public welfare. The amendment aims to ensure that the definitions of familial relationships are precise and inclusive, which may have implications for child care practices and regulations in Tennessee.
