Appeal and Review - As enacted, expands when the state may appeal an interlocutory order of a circuit or chancery court. - Amends TCA Title 27, Chapter 1.

Summary

It amends the state’s appeals code so the government can appeal as a matter of right any interlocutory order from a circuit or chancery court that, for example, imposes, continues, or modifies an injunction against the state, refuses to lift such an injunction, denies sovereign or qualified immunity, or rejects a motion to dismiss a case challenging the constitutionality of state law, executive orders, rules, or other government actions. The change applies to the state, its agencies and officials, giving them a direct path to higher‑court review. The goal is to protect state interests and ensure timely resolution of legal disputes.
