🏛️ Additional Context on the State Building Commission
To help you understand the framework within which Title 1390 operates:
The SBC was created by the legislature in 1955 (under T.C.A. § 4‑15‑101 et seq.) to oversee construction, demolition, land acquisition, and real estate management for public-state buildings (regulations.justia.com, tn.gov).
It consists of seven ex-officio members (Governor, Secretary of State, Comptroller, Treasurer, Commissioner of Finance & Administration, Speaker of the Senate, Speaker of the House) (tn.gov).
An Executive Subcommittee (ESC)—including the four Constitutional Officers and the Finance Commissioner—acts on delegated matters such as land acquisitions, leases, and demolitions (tn.gov).
The SBC typically meets on the second Thursday of each month, with ESC meetings shortly thereafter; public attendance (in-person or virtual) is allowed. (tn.gov)
