HB 935 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

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.

HB 935 requires counties that have adopted Tennessee's 1957 County Purchasing Law to use competitive bidding for insurance brokerage services. It directly affects those counties by mandating a public bidding process for selecting insurance brokers, aligning with their existing purchasing rules. The bill amends Tennessee Code to explicitly allow county legislative bodies to enforce this requirement, overriding conflicting provisions. This change ensures counties follow standardized procurement practices when purchasing insurance brokerage services.
