SB1287 amends Tennessee's personal responsibility plans to include obligations for parents and caretaker relatives.

SB1287 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 71, concerning personal responsibility plans. It mandates that parents or caretaker relatives cooperate in child support establishment and enforcement, and name the child's father for paternity unless there is good cause not to cooperate. Refusal or failure to engage in employment or training activities without good cause results in denial or termination of temporary assistance for the entire family unit. The act also requires the department to provide transportation assistance and childcare services for eligible individuals.
