Amends TCA Title 36; Title 37 and Title 39.

Tennessee SB1241 amends existing laws regarding child abuse definitions and reunification processes for children removed from their parents' custody due to abuse. The bill expands the definition of "abuse" to include instances where a child witnesses abuse within their household and stipulates that reunification with a parent is contingent upon the parent fulfilling responsibilities outlined in a permanency plan and the child receiving necessary mental health counseling. Key provisions include requirements for addressing domestic violence in the permanency plan and annual reporting on children removed from custody due to domestic abuse allegations.
