SB 130 Original 2019 Regular Session Peacock
Present law provides that persons employed as office court reporters and deputy court reporters of
a court of record shall be subject to the certification requirements applicable to certified court
reporters. Further provides that any person employed as a court reporter or deputy court reporter on
or before December 31, 2011, by a court which uses electronic or audio recording equipment shall
be certified as long as he remains employed by that court in such capacity.
Present law excludes certain courts from the certification requirements applicable to certified court
reporters.
Proposed law retains present law but provides for an exception for the Juvenile Court for Caddo

court reporter or deputy court reporter on or before December 31, 2019, shall be certified as long as
he remains employed by the court in such capacity.
