Statutes and Codification - As enacted, changes all TCA references from "adult day care" to "adult day services." - Amends TCA Section 4-3-1205; Title 39, Chapter 17, Part 18; Title 52, Chapter 8; Section 68-1-904; Title 68, Chapter 11, Part 2 and Title 71.

SB 978 updates Tennessee law by changing all references from "adult day care" to "adult day services" across multiple code sections, including those governing healthcare, social services, and licensing. This technical correction affects existing laws in Titles 4, 39, 52, 68, and 71 of the Tennessee Code Annotated, which cover areas like adult care facilities and service regulations. The bill makes no substantive policy changes - only standardizes terminology in current statutes. It directly affects agencies, providers, and officials operating under these codes, but does not alter eligibility, funding, or service requirements. The change is purely linguistic, ensuring consistent terminology in state law.
