AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee county government purchasing law to explicitly allow counties that have adopted the County Purchasing Law of 1957 to require a competitive bidding process for insurance brokerage services. Specifically, the legislation adds a new section to Title 5, Chapter 14, Part 1 of the Tennessee Code that permits county legislative bodies to mandate competitive bidding for insurance broker services, even if other existing laws might suggest otherwise. This provides counties with more flexibility in how they procure insurance-related professional services, giving them the option to solicit multiple bids to potentially obtain more favorable terms or pricing. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as deemed necessary for the public welfare.
