143-291.1. Costs.
The Industrial Commission is authorized by such order to tax the costs against the loser in the same manner as costs are taxed by the superior court in civil actions. When a State department, institution, or agency appeals the decision rendered by the hearing commissioner to the full Commission, the State department, institution or agency shall furnish a copy of the transcript of the hearing to the appellee without cost therefor. The State department, institution or agency concerned is authorized and directed to pay such costs as may be taxed against it, including all costs heretofore taxed against such department, agency or institution.
