23-13-214. Appeals -- Transcripts.

(a) Where any appeal is taken, as provided in 23-13-211 -- 23-13-215 or by other statutes with regard to appeals from orders of the Arkansas Transportation Commission [abolished], the secretary of the commission shall cause to be prepared, for use on the appeal, an accurate and true copy of the record of proceedings before the commission, which shall contain only such portions of the record as shall be designated by the person taking such appeal in the notice of appeal filed.

(b) Thereupon, the secretary of the commission shall certify the transcript as a true and accurate copy of the record of proceedings on appeal from the commission.

(c) The transcript shall be prepared in conformity with the rules of the Arkansas Supreme Court and of the Pulaski County Circuit Court regarding the filing of transcripts in civil cases, and the original record of proceedings before the commission shall remain on file with the commission.

(d) When there are designated for inclusion in the transcript of the record exhibits which, because of their form, nature, or bulk, cannot be conveniently copied, then the commission may order, upon proper application made by the party taking the appeal, that the original exhibits be appended to the secretary's transcript of the record. The exhibits may be removed from the offices of the commission for the purpose of filing with the transcript on appeal.

(e) (1) The party filing a motion for an appeal shall pay to the secretary of the commission the amount of the cost of preparing the transcript of the proceedings before the transcript is deposited with the clerk of the Pulaski County Circuit Court.

(2) All fees received by the commission in payment for the preparation of transcripts of proceedings under this subchapter shall be computed at the rate of fifty cents (50cent(s)) for each sheet and shall be paid into the State Treasury by the commission to the account of the fund from which appropriations are made for the support of the commission.
