SB 1109 amends Tennessee law to remove outdated reporting requirements for zero to three court programs and safe baby courts. It replaces obsolete language about "initial reports" with a new requirement for these programs to submit annual reports by February 1 each year. The reports must be submitted to the Department of Children's Services, Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, Administrative Office of the Courts, and the Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges. This bill clarifies existing reporting obligations without creating new programs or funding.
