SB 2668 requires Tennessee public elementary and secondary schools to display two signs (instead of one) in highly visible, accessible locations, each showing the toll-free number for reporting child abuse or neglect to the Department of Children's Services. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Section 49-6-304(c), changing the signage requirement from one sign in a high-traffic area to two signs in clearly visible public areas. This directly affects all K-12 public schools in Tennessee, mandating increased visibility of the child abuse reporting hotline. The change takes effect upon the bill becoming law.
