Arkansas Code § 23-4-411 - Failure of Commission to Reach Timely Decision -- Conditional Implementation of Suspended Rates

In the event no final rate determination has been made upon the schedule for new rates within ten (10) months after the date the schedule for new rates was filed with the Arkansas Public Service Commission, the public utility may put the suspended rate into effect for all bills rendered thereafter immediately upon the filing of a bond to be approved by the commission payable to the State of Arkansas in such amount and with sufficient security to insure prompt payment of any refunds to the persons entitled thereto, including an interest rate as determined by the commission not to exceed the maximum interest otherwise allowed by law, if the rate or rates so put into effect are finally determined to be excessive. There may be substituted for the bond other arrangements satisfactory to the commission for the protection of the parties interested.
