Bill Summary

As enacted, extends the termination date for the Alzheimer's and dementia respite care pilot program from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2026. - Amends TCA Title 9; Title 33; Title 52; Title 67 and Title 68.

AI Summary

This bill appears to make a minor technical amendment to extend a specific date reference in Tennessee Code from December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2026, without substantively changing the underlying law. While the bill's title and government summary suggest it was initially intended to create a "Caring for Caregivers Act" that would establish a three-year family caregiver grant pilot program for supporting caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia, the actual text of the bill does not reflect those proposed provisions. Instead, the bill simply modifies a single date reference in Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 52-8-203(b)(4)(B), and would take effect immediately upon becoming law. The specific context or purpose of extending this particular date is not explained in the provided text.
