Rule 62.06. Stay in Favor of the State or Agency Thereof

When an appeal is taken by the state, a county, a municipal corporation, or an officer or agency thereof acting in its behalf, the judgment may be stayed in the court’s discretion. If the court grants a stay, no stay or cost bond or other security shall be required from the appellant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the bond or other security for a government officer shall not be waived pursuant to this subsection except to the extent the governmental entity is financially responsible if the appeal is unsuccessful.
