House Bill 2154 and Senate Bill 2355 propose an amendment to the Tennessee Code Annotated concerning guardians ad litem. The bill specifically adds a new requirement to Section 37-1-126(c)(5), which mandates the inclusion of a new subdivision (H). This subdivision requires the reporting of the total amount of guardian ad litem administrative fees that were not waived but also not collected.

The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in the financial aspects of guardians ad litem services. By requiring the reporting of uncollected fees, the legislation aims to provide a clearer picture of the financial operations related to guardians ad litem in Tennessee.
