Higher contract funding for child advocacy

Beginning July 1, 2025, these Tennessee funding rules apply to contracts entered into, renewed, or amended on or after that date. The Department of Children’s Services sets contract bases at $127,855.98 for child advocacy centers and $85,000 per contracted forensic child interviewer. Each December, the State Funding Board certifies general fund revenue growth using actual collections from the prior fiscal year. Growth of at least 1% triggers a 3% increase in child advocacy center contract bases across judicial districts the following July 1. The law itself provides no money; funds can only be committed or spent if specifically provided in the General Appropriations Act.
