Tennessee Code Title 71. Welfare § 71-1-115

Current as of January 02, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

Whenever the department has discretion to expend funds appropriated for the purposes either through the officers and employees of the department or in the form of grants-in-aid to local governmental authorities, it shall decide with reference to the use of grants-in-aid according to the availability and adequacy of the facilities under the control of the local governmental authorities, as compared with the facilities of the department for furnishing the services required to be rendered; such funds shall be made available according to uniform rules to all local authorities performing similar functions. In formulating such rules, the department has the power to:

(1) Fix minimum standards of service and efficiency to be required of the local governmental authorities in carrying out the functions reposed in them by law;

(2) Provide for the termination of any grant-in-aid to any such authority whenever the department shall find that such minimum standards are not being complied with; and

(3) Require that as a condition of receiving grants-in-aid the local units of government shall bear specific proportions of the total expense of performing the designated functions.
