County Government - As introduced, 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SB 399, introduced in the Tennessee Senate in January 2025 and withdrawn in February 2025, proposed to allow counties that have adopted the County Purchasing Law of 1957 to require a competitive bid process for insurance brokerage services. The bill would have permitted county legislative bodies to mandate competitive bidding for insurance brokerage contracts, overriding any conflicting existing laws. This change would have directly affected county governments by altering how they procure insurance brokerage services, ensuring multiple bids are sought instead of direct negotiations. The bill aimed to standardize procurement practices under the 1957 purchasing law for insurance brokerage services.
