Children - As enacted, removes the requirement that grants under the child care improvement pilot program be provided explicitly to nonprofit organizations in order to establish or make improvements to a child care agency. - Amends TCA Title 71.

SB 1286 amends Tennessee law to allow state grants under the child care improvement pilot program to be awarded to for-profit child care agencies, not just nonprofit organizations. This change directly affects child care providers seeking state funding for establishing or improving their facilities, expanding eligibility beyond nonprofits. The key provision removes the specific requirement that grants be "explicitly provided to nonprofit organizations" in the relevant statute (TCA Title 71). The bill, now law (Public Chapter 80), simplifies access to funding for a broader range of child care agencies.
