AI Summary
This bill amends Section 88 of Chapter 221 of the General Laws in Massachusetts to update the terminology used, increase certain fees, and establish a process for regularly adjusting the rates and fees. Specifically, the bill replaces the term "stenographer" with "transcriber," increases the transcript fee from $3 to $5 and the per-page fee from $1 to $1.67, increases the fee for an original transcript from $5 to $8.35, and increases the fee for additional paper copies from $0.10 to $0.20 per page. The bill also establishes a process to adjust these rates and fees every 5 years based on changes in the Consumer Price Index for the Boston-Cambridge-Newton area.
