House Bill 1131, sponsored by Parkinson, proposes an amendment to Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 36-5-712. The bill modifies the existing requirement for annual reporting by changing the language from "on January 31, 1998, and annually thereafter" to "on or before January 31 of each year." This change aims to clarify the timeline for annual submissions, ensuring that they are completed by the end of January each year.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of timely reporting for the welfare of children in Tennessee. By streamlining the reporting process, the legislation seeks to enhance accountability and oversight in matters related to child welfare.
