Tort Liability and Reform - As enacted, enacts the "Tennessee Child Care Hosting Safe Harbor Act." - Amends TCA Title 29 and Title 71, Chapter 3.

HB 1965, the "Tennessee Child Care Hosting Safe Harbor Act," limits liability for employers and host entities (like businesses, schools, or nonprofits) that allow licensed child care providers to operate on their property. It shields these entities from civil lawsuits for injuries caused by the child care provider, unless the host entity was grossly negligent or acted with willful misconduct. The law clarifies that simply providing space, utilities, or financial support does not make the host responsible for managing the child care operation. This bill does not affect the child care provider's liability or limit legal actions against them directly.
