Section 183.400. Stay of enforcement

In the event a penalty is imposed by the officials, the Commission may grant a stay of the enforcement of such penalty until an appeal, if filed, is decided.

(1) The appeal will be filed on form called a ‘‘Notice of Appeal and Request for a Stay’’ provided by the Commission or upon presentation of a similar request in writing. The stay, if granted, will be at such a time or for such a duration designated by the Executive Secretary of the Commission. The Commission may require the posting of suitable security, which may be withheld in whole or in part if the appeal was frivolous or without foundation.

(2) The appeal must be filed within ten days after written notice of the decision or penalty from which the appeal is taken. It shall be filed at any Commission office, but in cases in which it is filed at a track office of the Commission, the main Commission office in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania shall be notified by telephone.

(3) The reasons stated in the appeal must be specific.
