HB 98 increases state funding for Tennessee human resource agencies by adjusting the matching formula for local contributions. It sets tiered state match amounts based on local per capita assessments: $295,000 for 1-20 cents, $340,000 for 21-30 cents, and $370,000 for 31+ cents per capita. This directly affects local human resource agencies and the counties or municipalities that fund them through local assessments. The bill changes how state funds are allocated to support human services delivery, with higher local contributions triggering larger state matches.
