Tennessee disaster grants get flexibility and oversight
The law exempts Tennessee agency-administered disaster grants from most state purchasing rules, but Tennessee Code Annotated § 12-3-602 still applies. Covered grants include grants and subgrants awarded to or by the state for legally authorized disaster response and recovery programs. The agency must set up checks for compliance with disaster response requirements and grant terms. Checks cover people and organizations receiving grants directly from federal or state agencies, or through another grant recipient. The changes took effect upon becoming law and create no new funding or direct household payments.
