Children - As enacted, allows a child care agency to lease or purchase underutilized property from local education agencies; classifies a child care family home as residential property for certain purposes, including zoning and building codes; permits a host-school's fire inspection and facilities to be sufficient for a child care agency's provisional license under the department of human services. - Amends TCA Title 13; Title 49; Title 68 and Title 71.

HB 1175, now enacted as Public Chapter 276, allows child care agencies in Tennessee to lease or purchase underutilized school district properties at fair market value. It classifies child care family homes as residential property for zoning and building code purposes, easing regulatory hurdles. The bill also permits host schools (public/private schools with child care programs) to use their existing fire inspections and facilities to meet provisional licensing requirements for child care agencies, reducing administrative barriers. These changes directly affect child care providers, school districts, and local governments managing underused facilities.
