66-118h. Same; bond, guarantee or surety, on stay or suspension pending review; collection and distribution of funds in excess of final order. In case the order or decision of the commission is stayed or suspended, the order or judgment of the court shall not become effective until a suspending bond or other satisfactory guarantee or surety shall have been executed by or on behalf of the party petitioning for the stay and filed with and approved by the court, payable to the people of the state of Kansas, sufficient in amount and security to secure the prompt payment, by the party petitioning for the stay, of all damages caused by the delay in the enforcement of the order or decision of the commission, and repayment of all moneys which any person, firm, corporation or any organization or association of any kind or character may be compelled to pay for any service in excess of the charges fixed by the order or decision of the commission in case such order or decision is sustained or in excess of the rate, fare, toll, rental, charge or classification finally established as lawful and reasonable if the order or decision be vacated or set aside, and in addition thereto or in lieu thereof the court granting a stay or suspending the order or decision of a commission in any manner affecting rates, fares, tolls, rentals, charges or classifications shall direct the petitioner to pay into court from time to time all sums of money collected from any person, firm or corporation in excess of the sum that such person, firm or corporation would have been compelled to pay if the order of the commission had not been stayed or suspended. The sums so paid into court shall be deposited, as the court may direct, in any bank or other depository paying interest on deposits. The court shall require the party collecting such sums to keep such records and issue such receipts as will facilitate the repayment of such sums to the proper persons, firm or corporations if the order of decision of the commission be sustained, or if the rate, fare, toll, rental, charge or classification finally established as reasonable or lawful be less than the sum collected. If the order or decision of the commission be sustained or if the rate, fare, toll, rental, charge or classification finally established as lawful and reasonable be less than the sum collected, the court shall require notice be given, by publication or otherwise, to the persons, firms or corporations entitled to be reimbursed and shall provide for the payment and distribution of such sums of money so impounded or due under the bond herein provided. All sums of money collected under bond which are paid and distributed as herein provided shall bear interest from the date of collection, at the rate prescribed by K.S.A. 16-204, and amendments thereto. |
