Senate Bill 1731 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 27-1-101, by completely replacing the existing text with new provisions regarding the state's right to appeal certain interlocutory orders from circuit or chancery courts. The bill specifies that the state may appeal as of right in cases where an injunction against the state or any state official is granted, continued, or modified; where a motion to dissolve or modify such an injunction is denied; where sovereign or qualified immunity is denied; or where a motion to dismiss filed by the state is denied in actions concerning the constitutionality of state law or governmental actions.

Additionally, the bill includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the act is found to be invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing its importance for public welfare.
