AN ACT RELATING TO COURTS AND CIVIL PROCEDURE -- COURTS -- COURT SECRETARIES, COURT REPORTERS, AND ELECTRONIC COURT REPORTERS

HB 6159 increases the maximum per-page fee for court transcript services. It raises the fee for original transcripts from $3.50 to $3.50 (clarifying the current maximum) and for copies from $1.50 to $2.00 per page. This change directly affects court reporters who provide transcripts and the parties (plaintiffs, defendants, or their attorneys) who request them. The bill also maintains a $10.00 fee for reproducing electronic court recordings on cassette. The law took effect upon the governor's signature on June 10, 2025.
