HB 728 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

TennCare - As enacted, extends the nursing home annual assessment fee to June 30, 2026. - Amends TCA Title 71, Chapter 5.

HB 728 extends Tennessee's nursing home annual assessment fee deadline from June 30, 2025, to June 30, 2026. The bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Title 71, Chapter 5, changing the fee collection period to run from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, instead of the previous 2024-2025 fiscal year. This directly affects nursing home facilities in Tennessee required to pay the annual assessment fee. The change delays the fee payment timeline for these facilities by one year, with the new period effective July 1, 2025.
