House Bill 1495 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 71, Chapter 2, which pertains to adult day services. The bill makes two significant changes to the existing regulations: it increases the maximum number of participants allowed in adult day services from twelve (12) to sixteen (16) and raises the limit for another category from fifteen (15) to twenty (20).
These amendments aim to expand the capacity of adult day services, potentially 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.
