Treasurer, State - As introduced, allows the state treasurer to enter into an agreement with an entity to carry out certain activities in order to serve as a facility to securely produce, store, process, and ship bullion products for the state's depository. - Amends TCA Title 9, Chapter 4.

SB 167 establishes a process for Tennessee to partner with a private manufacturer to operate a state mint for producing gold and silver bullion. It requires the selected entity to have at least 50 years of U.S. manufacturing experience, including government coin programs, and U.S. ownership. The state treasurer would choose this partner through standard procurement rules, and the facility would securely produce, store, and ship bullion products for the state's depository. This directly affects the state treasurer's office and qualifying manufacturers seeking to become the state's mint operator.
