Senator Richard Briggs sponsors SB0307, which authorizes local governments with populations of 100,000 or more to select project delivery methods for construction projects. This bill directly impacts the real estate industry, particularly in how local governments manage construction projects. Senator Briggs has a documented personal financial interest in commercial real estate, which creates a potential conflict of interest. His role in the commercial real estate sector could lead to personal financial gain if the bill facilitates more favorable project delivery methods that benefit his interests in that industry.

While his primary occupation as a cardiothoracic surgeon may seem unrelated, the overlap with commercial real estate is significant enough to warrant concern. The ability for local governments to choose project delivery methods could influence the market dynamics of construction projects, potentially benefiting Senator Briggs's financial interests in commercial real estate. This alignment raises questions about whether his legislative actions are influenced by personal financial motives, making the risk of conflict high.
