SB 1013 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Real Property - As introduced, makes void and unenforceable a restriction in a homeowners’ association declaration that would prohibit the operation of a family child care home at a property that is the site of a proposed family child care home, if the operator of the proposed family child care home has obtained a license from the department of human services and any necessary permits or licenses from the applicable local government for the operation of the family child care home. - Amends TCA Title 13 and Title 66.

SB 1013 prevents homeowners' associations (HOAs) in Tennessee from blocking licensed family child care operations on residential properties. It directly affects family child care providers who hold a Department of Human Services license and required local permits, and HOAs that previously enforced restrictive covenants. The bill makes any HOA rule prohibiting such homes unenforceable if the operator has the necessary licenses and permits. This policy change ensures licensed child care providers can operate in residential areas without HOA interference, amending Tennessee Code Sections 66-27-901 and 66-27-902.
