Day Care - As introduced, treats nieces and nephews of the whole or half-blood of a primary caregiver as being related to the caregiver for purposes of present laws governing child care agencies. - Amends TCA Title 71, Chapter 3, Part 5.

This bill updates Tennessee's child care law to explicitly include nieces and nephews of whole or half blood as legally related to a primary caregiver. Previously, the law did not clearly cover these blood-related relatives under the definition of "related" for child care licensing purposes. The change allows caregivers (such as grandparents or aunts/uncles) to legally care for these specific relatives under existing child care regulations without needing additional licensing. It directly affects families where a primary caregiver is responsible for a niece or nephew sharing blood ties.
