Summary

Existing law regulates official court reporters in the superior courts. Under existing law, a court may use electronic recording equipment in a limited civil case, a misdemeanor or infraction case, or for the internal purpose of monitoring judicial officer performance. If electronic recording equipment is used, a transcript created with that equipment may be used whenever a transcript of court proceedings is necessary. This bill would require transcripts created with electronic recording equipment to designate as inaudible or unintelligible any portions of the recording that contain no audible sound or are not discernible.
