Sec. 54.1. Notwithstanding any other law, if the commission fails to conduct a formal public hearing or to issue an order within a reasonable period of time upon a complaint that complies with sections 54 or 61 of this chapter, the complainant may bring an action for mandate under IC 34-27 to compel the commission to conduct the hearing or to issue the order. However, notwithstanding IC 34-27 or any other law or rule, the action for mandate may only be filed in the court of appeals. For the purposes of IC 1-1-1-8, if any part of this section is held invalid, the entire section is void.
