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

Summary

The law shields employers and entities that simply allow a state‑licensed child‑care provider to operate on their property from civil lawsuits, unless they are grossly negligent, engage in willful misconduct, or directly control the provider. It defines employer, host entity, and child‑care provider, and clarifies that providing space, utilities, or financial support alone does not create liability. The change aims to encourage more child‑care options by reducing legal risk for hosts.
