What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out

The two things the section does: set the Tennessee allotments for part of fiscal year 2026 and for fiscal year 2027, and narrow the reduction provision so that it reaches only fiscal year 2028.

The mechanical amendments striking the words or period from two subclauses.

The section amends section 1923(f) of the Social Security Act, which is not indexed here, so how the allotments and the reductions otherwise work is not recorded on this site.
