This subsection (b) shall not affect appeals from any state boards or commissions, including the Tennessee public utility commission, appeals involving revenue matters and/or taxes, and appeals where the only grounds for a new trial were that there was no evidence to support the verdict and/or that the verdict of the jury was contrary to the weight and preponderance of the evidence.
(c) All opinions handed down by the court of appeals are required to be published in the official reports where certiorari is denied by the supreme court. This subsection (c) shall not affect appeals from any state boards or commissions, including the Tennessee public utility commission, appeals involving revenue matters and/or taxes, and appeals where the only grounds for a new trial were that there was no evidence to support the verdict and/or that the verdict of the jury was contrary to the weight and preponderance of the evidence.
