REVENUE General Fund
FY25-26 & Subsequent Years $10,600
Assumptions:
• Pursuant to Tenn. Code Ann. § 52-2-418(a), a residential facility that houses persons with
intellectual or developmental disabilities may not be licensed by DDA if the facility houses
more than four persons served; and no more than two such residential facilities may be
licensed within 500 yards in any direction from other such facilities.
• Public Chapter 993 of 2024 created a pilot program to allow DDA to license two
participants to operate private congregated communities for persons with intellectual or
developmental disabilities in Williamson and Shelby County.
• The proposed legislation will allow one additional pilot participant, located in Bradley
County.
• Based on information provided by DDA, the Department can oversee an additional pilot
program participant utilizing existing staff and resources, without a significant increase in
expenditures.
• The annual facility fee for each participant will be $175 per bed, with an additional $50
inspection fee for each site.
• The proposed legislation establishes that the new participant may offer residential services
for no more than 60 additional adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
• The increase in state revenue is estimated to be $10,550 [($175 x 60 residents) + ($50 x 1
site)] in FY25-26 and subsequent years.
