Complete·4/6/26

Tennessee HB1791 allows the state to appeal certain court orders involving injunctions, immunity, and constitutional challenges.

Tennessee HB1791 amends the state's code to permit the state to appeal specific interlocutory orders from circuit or chancery courts. These include orders that grant, continue, or modify injunctions against the state or its officials, deny motions to dissolve or modify such injunctions, deny sovereign or qualified immunity, or deny motions to dismiss in cases involving the constitutionality of state laws or governmental actions. The act ensures that if any part of it is found invalid, the rest remains in effect, and it takes immediate effect upon becoming law.
