Bill > AB1469

This bill authorizes an entity that is not a shorthand reporting corporation to engage in specified acts relating to shorthand reporting if the entity is approved for registration by the Court Reporters Board of California (the board) after meeting certain requirements. These requirements include paying an annual registration fee, designating a board-certified reporter-in-charge, and agreeing to abide by the laws and regulations applicable to businesses that render shorthand reporting services. The bill also outlines the process for the board to approve or deny an entity's registration and the circumstances under which the board can revoke or suspend a registration. Additionally, the bill requires the board to create and maintain a directory of registered entities on its website and provides that no reimbursement is required for any costs incurred by local agencies or school districts due to the creation of a new crime or infraction.
