Child Abuse - As introduced, adds the speaker of the senate and speaker of the house of representatives to whom the recipients of funding from the child abuse fund and its subsidiary funds, the child advocacy centers fund, the CASA fund, and the child abuse prevention fund shall report to annually regarding their use of child abuse fund moneys, their collaborative efforts to address the spectrum of child abuse issues, and their recommendations for additional improvements in the child abuse prevention and response system in this state. - Amends TCA Title 33 and Title 39.
HB 2403 requires organizations receiving funds from Tennessee's child abuse prevention programs - including the child abuse fund, child advocacy centers fund, CASA fund, and child abuse prevention fund - to report annually to both the Senate Speaker and House Speaker. These reports must detail how the funds were used, describe collaborative efforts to address child abuse issues, and include recommendations for improving the state's child abuse prevention and response system. The bill amends Tennessee Code Sections 33-13-530(j) and 39-13-530(j) to add the legislative leaders as required recipients of these reports. This procedural change focuses on increasing transparency for key legislative figures regarding the use of child abuse prevention funding.
