Alabama Code Title 37. Public Utilities and Public Transportation § 37-1-126

(1) If the appeal to the circuit court is from an order of the commission reducing or refusing to increase rates, fares or charges, or any of them, or any schedule or part or parts of any schedule, of such rates, fares or charges, the circuit court shall not direct or order a supersedeas or stay of the action or order appealed from without requiring, as a condition precedent to the granting of such supersedeas, that the utility applying for the same shall execute and file with the clerk of said court a bond which shall be as provided in this subdivision.

(2) If the circuit court shall fail or refuse to grant such supersedeas, a utility may petition the supreme court to order a supersedeas and stay of the action or order of the commission appealed from, and any such order, if entered by the supreme court, shall likewise only be entered conditioned upon the execution and filing of the supersedeas bond as provided in this subdivision.
