AI Summary

This bill exempts disaster grants managed by the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) from standard state procurement rules, which are typically found in Title 12, Chapter 3 of Tennessee Code Annotated and govern how the state buys goods and services. However, the state will still be able to inspect businesses and audit records to ensure compliance with the terms of these disaster grants. The bill defines "disaster grant" as any funding, financial or otherwise, given to the state or by the state to individuals or organizations to help with disaster response and recovery programs. It also clarifies that "recipient" refers to those who directly receive these grants, and "subrecipient" refers to those who receive grants from a recipient to further assist in disaster recovery efforts.
