COURT REPORTING/CAPTIONING WK

This resolution (SR 12) declares February 1-8, 2025, as "Court Reporting and Captioning Week" in Illinois. It honors court reporters and captioners for their roles in preserving legal records, providing real-time translation (CART) for accessibility, and supporting justice proceedings. The resolution recognizes their work in safeguarding confidential information, enabling accurate legal documentation, and assisting deaf/hard-of-hearing individuals and non-native English speakers. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws or alter existing policies.
