Court reporters; increase fee charged per page.

HB 1481 would have increased court reporters' fees for transcripts from $4.00 to a higher rate per page (though the bill text as written restates the existing $4.00 rate, creating inconsistency). The bill would have directly affected court reporters, who charge parties for transcripts, and the parties paying those costs. It died in committee in February 2025 and was never enacted. The bill text does not show a specific new fee amount, as it merely restated the current $4.00 rate without indicating an increase.
