House Bill 1467 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 58-2-109, to provide specific provisions regarding disaster grants. The bill designates the existing language as subdivision (c)(1) and introduces new subdivisions (c)(2) and (c)(3). Subdivision (c)(2) states that disaster grants administered by the agency are exempt from the procurement requirements outlined in title 12, chapter 3, with the exception of Section 12-3-602, which still applies. Additionally, the agency is required to establish procedures to monitor compliance with the terms and conditions of disaster response and grant agreements.

Subdivision (c)(3) defines key terms related to disaster grants, including "disaster grant," which refers to grants awarded for disaster response and recovery assistance, "recipient," which is the entity that directly receives a disaster grant, and "subrecipient," which is an entity that receives a disaster grant from a recipient. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of efficient disaster response and recovery efforts in Tennessee.
