4. LEGAL STANDARD FOR STAY UNDER INDIANA LAW

A. Two-Track Stay System

Indiana provides two distinct mechanisms for obtaining a stay of an administrative order:

Track 1 — Administrative Stay (IC 4-21.5-3-6): A stay sought before the agency's own administrative law judge during the administrative proceedings. This requires a preliminary hearing at which the burden of proof is on the party seeking the stay.

Track 2 — Judicial Stay (IC 4-21.5-5-9): A stay sought from the court during judicial review proceedings. This requires a verified petition, a showing that there is a reasonable probability the order is invalid or illegal, and the posting of a bond.

B. Administrative Stay — IC 4-21.5-3-6

Under IC 4-21.5-3-6:

1. If a petition for review of an order is filed within the prescribed period and a petition for stay of effectiveness of the order is filed by a party or another person who has a pending petition for intervention, an administrative law judge shall, as soon as practicable, conduct a preliminary hearing.

2. The purpose of the preliminary hearing is to determine whether the order should be stayed in whole or in part.

3. The burden of proof is on the person seeking the stay.

4. The administrative law judge may stay the order in whole or in part.

5. The order concerning the stay may be issued after the underlying order becomes effective.

C. Licensing Decision Stays — IC 4-21.5-3-5

For licensing decisions, IC 4-21.5-3-5 provides additional provisions:

1. If the agency proposes to revoke or suspend a license, the licensee may request a stay of the proposed action pending the adjudicative proceeding.

2. If a timely request for stay is made, the proposed revocation or suspension is automatically stayed until the hearing officer rules on the stay request.

D. Judicial Stay — IC 4-21.5-5-9

Under IC 4-21.5-5-9, a person seeking judicial review may petition for a court-ordered stay if:

1. The petition concerns a matter other than a tax assessment;
2. The agency's enabling law does not preclude a stay;
3. The petition shows a reasonable probability that the order is invalid or illegal; and

4. A bond is filed that is:
   - Conditioned upon due prosecution of the review proceeding;
   - Conditioned upon payment of all court costs; and
   - Conditioned upon compliance with the agency's order if it is not set aside.

5. The bond must be in an amount and with surety approved by the court, with a minimum amount of $500.

E. Scope of Stay

The administrative law judge or court may stay the order:

• In whole
• In part (staying only certain provisions while allowing others to remain in effect)
• Subject to conditions

5. GROUNDS ANALYSIS

A. Administrative Stay (IC 4-21.5-3-6) — Petitioner's Burden

19. Petitioner meets the burden of proof for an administrative stay because:

The Order Should Be Stayed in Whole Because:

☐ The underlying order is likely to be reversed or modified on review because:
[________________________________]
[________________________________]

☐ Enforcement of the order pending review will cause irreparable harm to Petitioner, including:
[________________________________]
[________________________________]

☐ The balance of harm favors a stay because:

• Harm to Petitioner if no stay: [________________________________]
• Harm to Agency/public if stay is granted: [________________________________]
• Net balance: [________________________________]

☐ The public interest supports a stay because:
[________________________________]
[________________________________]

Alternatively, the Order Should Be Partially Stayed as Follows:

☐ The following provisions should be stayed: [________________________________]
☐ The following provisions should remain in effect: [________________________________]
☐ Reason for partial stay: [________________________________]

B. Judicial Stay (IC 4-21.5-5-9) — Required Showings

20. There is a reasonable probability that the order is invalid or illegal because:

☐ Invalid — Procedural Defects:
[________________________________]
[________________________________]

☐ Invalid — Unsupported by Evidence:
[________________________________]
[________________________________]

☐ Illegal — Exceeds Statutory Authority:
[________________________________]
[________________________________]

☐ Illegal — Violates Constitutional Rights:
[________________________________]
[________________________________]

☐ Illegal — Violates Applicable Statutes or Regulations:
[________________________________]
[________________________________]

21. Petitioner will file a bond conditioned upon:

a. Due prosecution of the judicial review proceeding
b. Payment of all court costs
c. Compliance with the agency's order if it is not set aside

22. Petitioner proposes a bond in the amount of $[________________________________], which meets the statutory minimum of $500 and is appropriate because:

[________________________________]
[________________________________]

C. Evidence in Support of Stay

☐ Affidavit of [________________________________] (attached as Exhibit [____])
☐ Financial records demonstrating harm (attached as Exhibit [____])

[________________________________]
☐ Other: [________________________________]

13. PRACTICE TIPS

Indiana-Specific Considerations

1. Two-Track System: Indiana uniquely provides for both administrative-level stays (IC 4-21.5-3-6) and judicial-level stays (IC 4-21.5-5-9). Practitioners should consider which track is more advantageous given the circumstances.

2. Burden of Proof on Movant: Under IC 4-21.5-3-6, the burden of proof is explicitly placed on the person seeking the stay. Be prepared with strong evidence at the preliminary hearing.

3. Mandatory Preliminary Hearing: The ALJ is required to conduct a preliminary hearing "as soon as practicable" on a stay petition filed under IC 4-21.5-3-6. If the ALJ delays, file a motion to compel the hearing.

4. Bond Requirement for Judicial Stays: IC 4-21.5-5-9 requires a bond with a minimum of $500. The court has discretion to set the bond higher. Be prepared to argue for a reasonable bond amount.

5. Three Bond Conditions: The statutory bond must be conditioned on: (1) due prosecution of the review, (2) payment of court costs, and (3) compliance with the order if not set aside. Ensure the bond document contains all three conditions.

6. Tax Assessment Exception: IC 4-21.5-5-9 does not apply to tax assessments. If the order involves a tax assessment, alternative stay mechanisms may be available under tax-specific statutes.

7. Agency Preclusion: The judicial stay is available only if "the agency's law does not preclude a stay." Check the agency's enabling statute for any stay-preclusion provisions before filing.

8. Verified Petition Required: The judicial stay petition must be verified (sworn to under oath). Ensure the verification meets Indiana requirements.

9. Licensing Stays Extended: For license-related matters, a court-ordered stay under IC 4-21.5-5-9 extends through all levels of review and appeal until the matter is "finally determined."

10. Post-Effectiveness Stays: Under IC 4-21.5-3-6, the ALJ can issue a stay even after the underlying order has become effective. This means it is not necessarily too late to seek a stay even if the order has already taken effect.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Failing to meet the burden of proof at the preliminary hearing
• Filing a bond that does not contain all three statutory conditions
• Assuming a judicial stay is available when the agency's enabling law precludes stays
• Not verifying the petition for judicial stay
• Missing the filing window for the petition for review, which is a prerequisite to the stay petition
• Proposing an inadequate bond amount that the court will reject
