K.S.A. 13-1228f: Same; stay or suspension of increase.

Upon request of the petitioning party, any utility rate increase which is the subject of review shall be stayed in whole or in part, as requested, upon the filing of the petition. Upon request of the board, the district court shall set a hearing upon five days' notice to determine whether the stay should be continued. If the stay or suspension is continued, the order granting the same shall contain a specific finding based upon evidence submitted to the court and identified by reference thereto, that petitioner would probably prevail on the merits that the board's rate decision was unlawful or unreasonable.
