HB 2306 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Real Property - As introduced, makes void and unenforceable any restrictions on the operation of a family child care home or group child care home that may be in a homeowners' association declaration that applies to a property where a family child care home or group child care home is or will be sited by the property owner; makes other changes relative to restrictions on the use of real property. - Amends TCA Title 66.

HB 2306 prevents homeowners' associations from enforcing rules that block licensed family or group child care homes in residential properties, as long as the provider has the required state license and local permits. It also prohibits landlords from refusing to rent to tenants operating licensed child care homes in residential dwellings. The law makes such restrictions invalid and allows providers to seek actual damages plus up to $1,000 in punitive damages if HOAs or landlords violate it. This affects child care providers, homeowners' associations, and landlords across Tennessee, applying to new HOA rules and rental agreements after the law takes effect.
