   The department of human services is authorized to work with local communities, industry and other entities to develop the preliminary parameters of a program of public/private partnerships to enhance funding of child care. In such efforts, the department shall involve entities such as the Tennessee Child Care Facilities and Programs Corporation, established pursuant to part 1 of this chapter [repealed], the appropriate local families first councils and the work force development council.   In exploring such partnerships, the department shall examine the feasibility of securing federal and state funding as an incentive for developing matching local funds derived from local governments, employers, charitable institutions or foundations and other sources, so that communities may seek local, flexible partnerships with employers for the creation and enhancement of child care.      Only to the extent of any current funding not otherwise obligated by law, the department may also establish preliminary public/private partnerships through a program based upon the principles in subsection (a). In any preliminary program created pursuant to this subsection (b), any matching funds shall be used with the input and direction of local communities to meet the needs of working parents and to create, expand or upgrade on-site child care facilities; to contract or partner with child care agencies that provide such types of child care as sick-care, after-hours care for children and any other forms of child care that become necessary to meet the needs of children, parents, and employers; and to use such funds as incentives or for studies that may be necessary to aid in the development of any child care for the particular community.   Any funds used pursuant to this subsection (b) shall supplement or extend the use of existing public or private funding and shall not be used to supplant the maintenance of effort being exerted currently by the employer or other contributor.   Any funds utilized pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be for child care provided in a facility licensed, approved or certified by a state child care licensing, certification or approval entity under title 37, 49, or 71, or in any other facility or program approved for the care of children by the department.

    Except as provided in subdivision (a)(2), each vendor shall, at the execution of the contract with the corporation, post a performance bond or letter of credit from a bank or credit provider acceptable to the corporation in an amount as deemed necessary by the corporation for that particular bid or contract. In lieu of the bond, a vendor may, to assure the faithful performance of its obligations, deposit and maintain with the corporation securities that are interest bearing or accruing and that are rated in one (1) of the three (3) highest classifications by an established nationally recognized investment rating service. Securities eligible under this section are limited to:   Certificates of deposit issued by solvent banks or savings associations approved by the corporation and that are organized and existing under the laws of this state or under the laws of the United States;   United States bonds, notes, and bills for which the full faith and credit of the government of the United States is pledged for the payment of principal and interest; and   Corporate bonds approved by the corporation. The corporation that issued the bonds shall not be an affiliate or subsidiary of the depositor.     Such securities shall be held in trust and shall have at all times a market value at least equal to the full amount estimated to be paid annually to the lottery vendor under contract.     Because of certain economic considerations, minority businesses may not be financially able to comply with the bonding, deposit of securities, or letter of credit requirements of subdivision (a)(1). In order to assure minority participation in major procurement contracts to the most feasible and practicable extent possible, the chief executive officer is authorized and directed to waive the bonding, deposit of securities, and letter of credit requirements of subdivision (a)(1) for a period of five (5) years from the time that a minority business enters into a major procurement contract in cases where any minority business substantiates financial hardship pursuant to the policies and procedures established by the board.     Each vendor shall be qualified to do business in this state and shall file appropriate tax returns as provided by the laws of this state. All contracts under this section shall be governed by the laws of the state.   No contract shall be secured with any vendor in which a public officer, as covered in § 8-50-501(a), or an employee of such officer, has an ownership interest of one percent (1%) or more.

Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, whenever any person who receives proceeds from the sale of lottery tickets or shares in the capacity of a lottery retailer becomes insolvent or dies insolvent, the proceeds due the corporation from such person or that person's estate shall have preference over all debts or demands.
