House Bill 1452 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 71, Chapter 3, to introduce a new provision regarding child care agencies. Specifically, it establishes that child care agencies providing services through a child development program and accredited by the United States Department of Defense are exempt from licensure requirements, provided they serve only eligible patrons. This exemption is defined in accordance with existing federal regulations.

The bill adds a new subsection (g) to Section 71-3-503, clarifying the definitions of "child development program" and "eligible patron" as per federal guidelines. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
