Senate Bill 2559 and House Bill 2599 propose amendments to Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 52, Chapter 8, Part 2, concerning respite care. The bill seeks to remove the term "pilot" from the existing legal language in Section 52-8-203(b), indicating a shift away from any pilot program designation. Additionally, it eliminates subdivisions (b)(4)(B) and (C) from the same section, which may pertain to specific provisions or requirements previously outlined in the law.

The bill is designed to streamline the legal framework surrounding respite care in Tennessee, potentially making it more accessible or effective. It is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the urgency of the changes for public welfare.
