Charitable Solicitations - As introduced, exempts a child care agency from the registration requirements for charitable organizations. - Amends TCA Title 48, Chapter 101.
This bill would exempt child care agencies licensed by the Tennessee Department of Human Services from registering as charitable organizations when soliciting donations. Specifically, it adds these agencies - defined under Tennessee law (TCA § 71-3-501) - to the list of entities already excluded from registration requirements. This change would remove a bureaucratic step for licensed child care agencies seeking public donations. The exemption would take effect on July 1, 2025, if enacted.
