HB 2629 amends Tennessee law to allow nursing home care grant payments under the state's grant assistance program to be made either monthly or quarterly, rather than exclusively monthly. This change directly affects nursing homes receiving state grants for care services by providing flexibility in how they receive funding. The bill specifically revises Tennessee Code Annotated §71-5-1305 to replace "monthly" with "monthly or quarterly" in payment terms. It does not alter grant amounts or eligibility but streamlines payment scheduling for providers. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on administrative payment timing.
