AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 12-3-1205, to expand cooperative purchasing agreements for local governments. Specifically, the bill modifies existing language to explicitly allow local governments to enter into purchasing agreements for materials, labor, and services related to maintenance, operations, component replacement, or repairs of facilities and grounds owned or operated by local education agencies or local government agencies. The amendment clarifies that these cooperative purchasing arrangements can cover a broader range of maintenance and operational needs, excluding only certain utility system materials. By updating the existing law, the bill provides local governments with more flexibility in how they can collaborate and share resources for facility maintenance and operational support, potentially helping them reduce costs and improve efficiency in managing public facilities and grounds.
