County Government - As enacted, authorizes a county that has adopted the County Purchasing Law of 1957 to require a competitive bid process for insurance brokerage services. - Amends TCA Title 5 and Title 12, Chapter 3, Part 12.

SB 848 (enacted May 5, 2025) allows Tennessee counties that have adopted the County Purchasing Law of 1957 to require competitive bidding for insurance brokerage services. This applies specifically to counties using the 1957 purchasing framework, mandating they seek multiple bids instead of selecting brokers through non-competitive processes. The law amends Tennessee Code Sections 5-1-101 and 12-3-121 to implement this change. It directly affects county governments managing insurance procurement, ensuring greater transparency in selecting brokers for public insurance needs.
