13-18-122. Appeals Consequent revision of project decision schedule.

(a)  Any judicial appeal which is provided for in the permitting process of any individual agency shall be permitted when such agency joins in the joint review process, and any action of the joint review team in conducting such process may be appealed if such action by the permitting agency would be appealable.

(b)  Unless specified otherwise, appeals shall be made to the chancery court for Davidson County, and shall be given priority by that court and heard before any other action not already under consideration by that court.

(c)  Any appeal from a decision of the chancery court shall be made directly to the Tennessee supreme court and be expedited by that court. Any review by the Tennessee supreme court shall be assigned for hearing and completed at the earliest possible date, shall to the greatest extent practicable take precedence over all other matters on the docket of the court at that time, and shall be expedited in every way by such court.

(d)  Immediately following any decision remanding to an agency any case or controversy involving the validity of this chapter or an action pursuant to this chapter, the joint review team shall revise the project decision schedule as necessary to expedite any further proceedings required by the decision of the court. Such revisions shall be consistent with § 13-18-119.
