Local Government, General - As introduced, authorizes a local government having a population of 100,000 or more and having centralized purchasing with a full-time purchasing agent to use any project delivery method that the local government determines most effectively meets the needs of the local government for the construction of local projects or additions to existing buildings. - Amends TCA Title 12, Chapter 3, Part 12.

SB 307 allows larger Tennessee local governments (with 100,000+ residents per the 2020 census and centralized purchasing with a full-time agent) to choose any construction project delivery method they prefer for building projects or additions. It specifically permits using methods like design-build or construction manager at-risk instead of traditional "design-bid-build" processes. The bill requires these governments to still follow all applicable purchasing laws while selecting the most effective approach for their needs. This directly affects counties, cities, and other large local entities managing public construction projects.
