4797	4797	grant funds in addition to those appropriated and enumerated in this section shall be
4798	4798	subject to the following limitations and restrictions:
4799	4799
4800	4800	The Housing and Community Development Act of 1981 made it possible for
4801	4801	states to assume administration of the Small Cities Community Development Block
4802	4802	Grant (CDBG) previously administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
4803	4803	Development (HUD). In Tennessee, the CDBG Program shall be administered by the
4804	4804	Department of Economic and Community Development (ECD).
4805	4805
4806	4806	There shall be appropriated by the General Assembly to ECD such funds as may
4807	4807	be allocated to Tennessee by the federal government for the CDBG Program. The state-
4808	4808	administered CDBG Program shall be developed within the parameters of the CDBG
4809	4809	legislation, applicable federal regulations, and consultation with citizens and elected
4810	4810	officials in Tennessee.
4811	4811
4812	4812	The CDBG goals shall be three-fold: (1) target on areas of economic distress; (2)
4813	4813	stimulate the growth of jobs and income in these areas; and (3) maximize the number of
4814	4814	grantees. Additionally, all CDBG projects must meet one of the three national objectives
4815	4815	of (1) principally benefiting persons of low and moderate income; (2) elimination or
4816	4816	prevention of slums and blight; or (3) elimination of conditions detrimental to health,
4817	4817	safety or public welfare. ECD shall be authorized to make grants and/or loans of CDBG
4818	4818	monies to eligible city and county governments in Tennessee to achieve these goals.
4819	4819	Loan payments and interest shall be reserved for reappropriation and shall not revert to
4820	4820	the general fund balance at year end.
4821	4821

4826	4826	Clarksville, Bristol, Johnson City, Oak Ridge, Murfreesboro, Kingsport, Hendersonville,

4828	4828	their CDBG funds directly from HUD.
4829	4829
4830	4830	Based upon anticipated CDBG allocations of $28,178,000 in fiscal year 2024-

4848	4848	A fifty percent (50%) reduction in any category will be permitted to facilitate
4849	4849	proper program management and allow administrative flexibility. The funds so reduced
4850	4850	shall be allocated to other categories with priority given to water/sewer projects.
4851	4851
4852	4852	Selection criteria for project approvals shall be uniform within categories,

4854	4854	impact, community need, the percent of project beneficiaries that have family incomes

4857	4857
4858	4858	Project application materials will be supplemented, as appropriate, by site visits
4859	4859	and by informed opinions of state agencies knowledgeable about particular projects.
4860	4860
4861	4861	The level of CDBG assistance for individual projects shall be determined by the
4862	4862	following factors: (1) a maximum grant of $600,000 for individual projects ($400,000 for
4863	4863	community livability projects); and (2) the grantee's ability to pay. A ThreeStar bonus
4864	4864	that increases the grant amount by 5% is added to grantees in certified ThreeStar
4865	4865	counties. Higher grant levels (up to $1,000,000) may be approved for regional projects.
4866	4866
4867	4867	If modifications in the expenditure plan for the CDBG Program are required, said
4868	4868	modifications shall be accomplished in the following manner: (1) If the General Assembly
4869	4869	is in session, such modifications shall be approved by the General Assembly; or (2) if the
4870	4870	General Assembly is not in session, the Governor may either (a) submit such
4871	4871	modifications to the State Funding Board for approval or (b) call a special session of the
4872	4872	General Assembly for approval.

6696	6696	authorized to reallocate appropriations within the affected state agencies and to
6697	6697	reallocate homeland security appropriations among the affected agencies for the
6698	6698	purpose of providing the required state match to these and other federal
6699	6699	homeland security and bioterrorism grants; to adjust position authorizations
6700	6700	among affected departments, offices, and programs for that purpose; and to
6701	6701	adjust federal and other departmental revenue estimates accordingly. The
6702	6702	commissioner shall file any such reallocations or adjustments with the Fiscal
6703	6703	Review Committee and the Office of Legislative Budget Analysis.
6704	6704
6705	6705	Item 2. There are appropriated sums sufficient to the Department of Safety,

6712	6712	forward into the next fiscal year, and such amounts as may be carried forward hereby
6713	6713	are appropriated. Said reserve is subject to the availability of revenue and to the
6714	6714	approval of the Commissioner of Finance and Administration. The provisions of this item
6715	6715	take effect upon becoming a law, the public welfare requiring it.
6716	6716
6717	6717	Item 4. In the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, the unexpended balance of the
6718	6718	state appropriation to the Miscellaneous Appropriations in Chapter 966, Public Acts of

6724	6724
6725	6725	SECTION 53. Federal Program Reductions. The General Assembly recognizes that
6726	6726	reductions in federal grants-in-aid of federal programs by the United States government will
6727	6727	require extraordinary actions by the Commissioner of Finance and Administration to manage the
6728	6728	state budget within available resources and without detrimental effect on state finances. It is the
6729	6729	legislative intent that the reduced programs not be maintained at their former level by
6730	6730	substituting state funds for the reduced federal aid.
6731	6731
6732	6732	Item 1. Accordingly, the Commissioner of Finance and Administration shall
6733	6733	reduce the federal and other departmental revenue estimates and reduce the allotment
6734	6734	of funds in an amount equal to the revenue reductions, in accordance with Section 23,
6735	6735	Item 1, it being the legislative intent that such withdrawal of federal aid necessitates a
6736	6736	reduction of spending authorization in order to protect the state finances.
6737	6737
6738	6738
6739	6739
6740	6740	- 132 - 003682
6741	6741
6742	6742	Item 2. The commissioner also shall reduce the number of authorized positions
6743	6743	of each program affected by the federal aid reductions, to the extent positions were
6744	6744	funded by the federal aid being reduced.
6745	6745
6746	6746	Item 3. State funds appropriated to match federal aid that has been reduced
6747	6747	shall be set aside in an allotment reserve of the affected program and shall not be
6748	6748	expended except to the extent necessary to provide for severance benefits and other
6749	6749	actions necessary to reduce programs; provided, however, that the allotment of state
6750	6750	funds shall be authorized to the extent necessary to fulfill state maintenance-of-effort
6751	6751	(MOE) requirements under federal law. To the extent that state MOE requirements are
6752	6752	reduced by the federal programs, state funds in the amount of the allowable MOE
6753	6753	reduction also shall be reserved and not expended, except as provided above in this
6754	6754	item. The provisions of this item shall not operate to require the reserving of state funds
6755	6755	that have been appropriated in excess of the previous level of required state match or
6756	6756	MOE in order to enhance the affected joint federal-state program.
6757	6757
6758	6758	Item 4. It is the legislative intent that the state matching funds held in allotment
6759	6759	reserve as a result of these actions revert to the appropriate fund balance at June 30,
6760	6760	2026, in addition to the amounts estimated in the over-appropriation in Section 43 of this
6761	6761	act, and that such funds as may be estimated at mid-year, when the 2026-2027 Budget
6762	6762	is transmitted, be available for the Governor's budget recommendations for the
6763	6763	maintenance of any priority program services, if approved in the 2026 appropriations bill
6764	6764	enacted by the General Assembly.
6765	6765
6766	6766	Item 5. The Commissioner of Finance and Administration, by December 31,
6767	6767	2025, shall report to the Senate and House Finance, Ways and Means committees and
6768	6768	the directors of the Office of Legislative Budget Analysis on the reductions made by
6769	6769	department and by state program, including the amounts of federal and other
6770	6770	departmental revenue and allotments reduced, the matching state appropriations held in
6771	6771	reserve and not allotted, the number of positions reduced, and a general summary of the
6772	6772	impact on program services. After the report date, the commissioner shall provide any
6773	6773	updated information in a fiscal year-end report encompassing the same categories of
6774	6774	information, if the program reductions have changed from the earlier report.
6775	6775	SECTION 54. From the appropriations in Section 1, Title III-26 and Section __ of this
6776	6776	act, the following non-recurring amounts are appropriated to the TennCare Program.

6783	6783	other departmental revenue accordingly; provided, however, that if the federal
6784	6784	government disallows the coverage assessment as a valid source to match
6785	6785	federal Medicaid funds, the appropriations in this Item 1(a) shall be null and void,
6786	6786	and the appropriations in Section 1, Title III-26 and Section __ shall be reduced
6787	6787	accordingly. If the cited bill does not become a law, the appropriations in Section
