House Bill 1495, sponsored by Slater, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 71, Chapter 2, which pertains to adult day services. The bill makes two key changes to the existing law: it increases the maximum number of participants allowed in adult day services from twelve (12) to sixteen (16) and raises the limit from fifteen (15) to twenty (20) for another specified category within the same section.
These amendments aim to expand the capacity of adult day services, thereby allowing more individuals to receive care and support. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of enhancing adult day service provisions for the welfare of the public.
