HB 2283 modifies Tennessee law to prevent the Department of Children's Services from requiring relative caregivers (including those in kinship foster care programs) to provide each child with their own bedroom when determining placement. The bill specifically amends sections of Tennessee Code Annotated (37-1-166 and 37-2-414) to remove this requirement, except when specific safety or medical reasons make shared sleeping unsafe. This change directly affects relative caregivers and the department's placement decisions for children in foster care.
