Tennessee HB2283 modifies child placement laws to allow relatives to not provide a separate bedroom unless safety or medical reasons dictate.
Tennessee HB2283 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 37, to change the requirements for placing children in the custody of relative caregivers. Specifically, it states that the department shall not require a relative caregiver to provide the child with their own bedroom unless there are specific safety or medical reasons that would make placement with another child unsafe. This change applies to both general relative caregiver custody and kinship foster care placements. The act takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
