Bill > HB0098

This bill amends Tennessee law to increase state funding for local human resource agencies by modifying the state matching contribution schedule. Currently, the state provides financial assistance to local human resource agencies based on their per capita local assessment, with different funding levels depending on the size of the local contribution. The bill updates these funding tiers, increasing the state's maximum annual contribution from $370,000 to a new amount (though the specific new amount is not specified in the provided text). Specifically, the bill changes the existing law to maintain three funding tiers based on local assessment levels: for local assessments of 1-20 (previously receiving $295,000), 21-30 (previously receiving $340,000), and 31 and over (previously receiving $370,000). The purpose of this legislation appears to be providing additional financial support to local human resource agencies to help them deliver services to residents. The bill would take effect immediately upon becoming law, as stated in Section 2, with the justification that it serves the public welfare.
