AI Summary

This bill amends and adds to existing law to allow online examinations for certified shorthand reporters, provide a new type of examination for them, and establish a certification by endorsement process. Specifically, it authorizes the state certified shorthand reporters board to approve examinations that are administered electronically or online. It also allows applicants to qualify for certification by passing certain national-level examinations, such as the Registered Professional Reporter (RPR), Registered Merit Reporter (RMR), Registered Diplomate Reporter (RDR), Certified Realtime Reporter (CRR), or Certified Realtime Captioner (CRC) exams, in addition to the existing Idaho-specific exam. Finally, the bill creates a new certification by endorsement pathway, enabling the board to issue a shorthand reporter certificate to individuals who hold a valid certificate from another state and have worked as a certified shorthand reporter for at least 3 of the last 5 years.
