Bill Summary

As enacted, clarifies that any governmental entity may purchase any of the insurance authorized under state law, without the necessity of public bidding, as required by any public or private act or charter restriction, if such insurance is purchased through a plan authorized and approved by any organization of cities, counties, or other governmental entities as contemplated by state law. - Amends TCA Title 12; Title 12, Chapter 3 and Title 29.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Tennessee law to broaden the ability of governmental entities to purchase insurance without being required to go through public bidding processes. Specifically, the bill amends Section 29-20-407 by replacing the phrase "governmental entities representing cities and counties" with "cities, counties, or other governmental entities as contemplated by this part". This change effectively expands the range of governmental bodies that can purchase insurance through approved organizational plans without being constrained by existing public or private act restrictions or charter requirements. The modification aims to provide more flexibility for local and state government entities in procuring insurance coverage, potentially simplifying and streamlining the insurance purchasing process for public organizations. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly.
