Tennessee SB1172 establishes the "African American Cultural and Historical Grant Act," creating a special fund within the state general fund to support capital projects that highlight African American contributions, culture, and history. The Tennessee Historical Commission will administer the fund, which will be financed through state appropriations and donations, and will allocate grants to eligible entities for new construction, renovation, or restoration of culturally significant facilities. Key provisions include the establishment of grant application guidelines, prioritization of projects with cultural significance, and a requirement for the commission to submit an annual report on the program's status and fund allocation.
