The bill is designed to streamline the legal framework surrounding child fatality prevention efforts in Tennessee. It emphasizes the importance of the child fatality prevention team by formally incorporating it into the relevant legal sections, thereby enhancing its visibility and potentially its effectiveness in addressing child fatalities in the state.
