The purpose of the Unlicensed Facility Registry is to notify the public of those individuals operating facilities which Tennessee State Government Agencies have determined require licensure. These unlicensed residential facilities are operating without the appropriate licensure by Tennessee State Government Agencies and are providing care to vulnerable Tennesseans without complying with the necessary licensure statutes and regulations in the State of Tennessee. The purpose of this Registry is to inform and protect the public. These rules outline procedures for reporting to the Registry and for seeking removal from the Registry after a facility has obtained licensure. Operation of an unlicensed facility after receiving notice of placement on the Registry is a Class D felony. The rules outline the Registry's injunctive authority and also address when a referral may be made for criminal prosecution.
