Children's Services, Dept. of - As introduced, changes from 10 to 15, the number of days of prior written notice the department must provide to a relative caregiver of any additional requirements for receiving payments as a relative caregiver. - Amends TCA Title 37 and Title 71.
HB 1305 changes Tennessee law to require the Department of Children's Services to provide relative caregivers with 15 days' written notice (instead of 10 days) before imposing new payment requirements. This directly affects relatives caring for children in foster care who receive state payments. The bill amends specific sections of Tennessee law (Title 37 and Title 71) to implement this longer notice period. The change focuses solely on the timing of written communication to caregivers, with no other policy shifts described in the bill text.
