Stay of Agency Enforcement Application - Arkansas
APPLICATION TO AGENCY FOR STAY OF ENFORCEMENT — ARKANSAS
Before you use this: Direct this application to the agency that issued the decision. Ark. Code Ann. § 25-15-212(c) addresses stays during judicial review of an adjudication; it does not itself supply every agency-level reconsideration or pre-final stay procedure. Identify the agency-specific authority if review has not begun. Filing a judicial-review petition alone does not stay enforcement. Obtain written relief before relying on a stay.

Legal authority
- Ark. Code Ann. § 25-15-212(c) (agency or reviewing-court stay during judicial review)
Administrative law covers how you interact with government agencies, from filing a comment on a proposed rule to appealing a denied license or benefit. Agency processes have their own forms, deadlines, and evidence standards that are different from what courts use. Getting the paperwork wrong usually means missing a deadline or losing the right to appeal, so precision in these documents matters as much as it does in a courtroom filing.

Ark.

However, on review of disciplinary orders issued by professional licensing boards governing professions of the healing arts, the reviewing court, only after notice and hearing, may issue all necessary and appropriate process to postpone the effective date of an agency action or to preserve status or rights pending conclusion of review proceedings."
