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.
