Senate Bill 1622 aims to establish a statewide, county-level quality assurance program within the Tennessee Department of Children's Services, with a deadline for implementation set for July 1, 2027. The bill mandates the development of a comprehensive program that includes designated quality assurance coordinators and committees at both the county and state levels. The program's goals focus on enhancing service delivery for children and families by ensuring independent evaluations, increasing departmental capacity, and improving outcomes. The commissioner is also required to utilize both qualitative and quantitative data to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of services.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the commissioner must create a public grading system to reflect each county's quality assurance performance, which will be updated at least every six months. Reports detailing the progress of the program's implementation will be sent to legislative leaders quarterly, starting from September 30, 2026, until the program is fully operational. This initiative is designed to foster accountability and continuous improvement in the services provided to children and families across Tennessee.
