Committee Votes To Maintain Court Reporters Board

Posted in: Uncategorized

Today, June 15th, 2009, the Senate Committee on Business, Professions & Economic Development, chaired by Senator Gloria Negrete McLeod, met to discuss the Governor’s proposal to eliminate the Court Reporters Board.

The original recommendation of the Chair was consideration should be given to the proposal stated above.

After compelling arguments made by COCRA, DRA, CCRA, several attorneys who spoke highly of the Transcript Reimbursement Fund, Donna Hershkowitz of Judicial Council, and educators from court reporting schools across the state, Senator Corbett stated she would not support eliminating the Court Reporters Board and made a substitute motion to maintain the Court Reporters Board and the Transcript Reimbursement Fund.

The Committee voted in favor of Senator Corbett’s motion 7-2.

As a result, the Court Reporters Board lives and court reporters across the state have cause to celebrate.
