Tennessee Senate bill in Session 114.
Status: in_committee. Latest action: April 20, 2026.
AN ACT to amend Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 52, Chapter 8, Part 2, relative to respite care.
Present law establishes the Alzheimer's and dementia respite care pilot program to provide home and community-based services through grants provided to each of the nine area agencies on aging and disability in this state, and requires that the Alzheimer' s and dementia respite care program actively serve up to 225 enrollees at one time in each fiscal year of the program's operation. This bill removes that requirement. Present law requires the Alzheimer's and dementia respite care program to be operated from July 1, 2022, to December 31, 2026. This bill eliminates that termination date.
