HB 1131 clarifies that Tennessee's Department of Children's Services must report annual child support information to the General Assembly and governor by January 31 each year. The bill amends multiple Tennessee Code sections (including Titles 4, 8, 33, 34, 36, 37, 41, 49, 68, and 71) to update the reporting deadline from a dated reference ("January 31, 1998, and annually thereafter") to the current annual requirement ("on or before January 31 of each year"). This is a procedural clarification affecting the Department of Children's Services' reporting obligations, not a substantive policy change. The bill failed in committee on April 9, 2025.
