SB 165 - This act changes the appeal of a Public Service Commission order from the circuit court in the county where the hearing was held to the appellate court of the district where the commission has its principal office. The filing of the notice of appeal shall not automatically stay the commission's order. The appealing party may ask the appellate court to appoint a special master to determine whether the order must be stayed. The special master has the authority to maintain the status quo of the commission's order pending the appeal or the order. If the appellate court decision of the commission's order is further appealed, the appeal to the Missouri Supreme Court will take precedence over all other civil appeals on the supreme court docket if a bond of $500 is filed in a timely manner.
