Summary
The bill changes Tennessee law so that any opioid abatement money given to nonprofit groups must be split between an upfront payment and later reimbursement. About half of the grant must be an advance used for ongoing costs such as staff salaries. The goal is to give nonprofits cash flow while ensuring funds are spent on opioid‑related work.
