DONATE TODAY!! Help COCRA Fight the Elimination of Officials!!

Posted in: Electronic Recording, Furloughs

As you may have already heard, the governor’s office has proposed a severe cut to the budget that will have a huge impact on court reporters in California Superior Courts. The Governor is proposing to eliminate ALL official court reporting positions and to replace them with electronic recording. This proposal is not a replacement of some court reporting positions as has been proposed in the past. This is to eliminate all official court reporters. That would mean the elimination of 1,800 official court reporting positions throughout California.

The governor’s proposal to replace all official court reporters with ER would begin with a 20% reduction in official court reporting positions each year for five years. By the end of the fifth year electronic reporting would be in place in all courts.

Rest assured, COCRA is working hard to ensure that the governor’s draconian proposal is not enacted by coordinating efforts with state unions and local and state court reporting associations.
