State Building Commission
Inception and Function
The State Building Commission (SBC) was created by the Legislature in 1955 (TCA 4-15-101) to oversee construction of all State public buildings. The SBC's responsibility has been expanded to include authority over most acquisition, disposal, improvement, or demolition of real property owned by the State with the exclusion of roads, highways, and bridges.
In addition, its authority extends to the leasing of real property as well as disposal by lease of State property.
