ARKANSAS-SPECIFIC PROCEDURAL NOTES

• Under Ark. Code Ann. Section 25-15-212(d), the reviewing court may grant a stay upon appropriate terms.
• When seeking a stay from the agency, check agency-specific rules for stay procedures and standards.
• The filing of a petition for judicial review does not automatically stay enforcement.
• Bond or other security may be required as a condition of the stay.
• Consider filing a motion for stay simultaneously with the petition for judicial review.
