SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Discretionary interlocutory appeal. Provides that the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals, in its discretion, may permit an appeal to be taken from any order of a circuit court although the order is not a final order, provided the written order of the circuit court states that the order involves a controlling question of law as to which there is substantial ground for difference of opinion, that an immediate appeal from the order may materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation, and that the court and the parties agree it is in the parties' best interest to seek resolution of the issue in the appellate court prior to the conclusion of the trial. The act has a two year sunset clause.
