Public Property - As enacted, clarifies exception to when a state entity must advertise for leasing space when the entity has requirements that are special and unique. - Amends TCA Section 12-2-114.
SB 625 clarifies that Tennessee state agencies do not need to advertise for leasing space when their requirements are "special and unique," as approved by the state building commission. This exception applies directly to state agencies seeking to lease office space or facilities with uncommon needs. The bill amends state law to add this specific exception to the standard advertising requirement for state leases. The change became law in 2025 after passing the legislature.
