| 1 | | "Section 67. The Court Reporters Act is amended by changing | 2 | | Section 5 as follows: | 3 | | (705 ILCS 70/5) (from Ch. 37, par. 655)
| 4 | | Sec. 5. Means of reporting; transcripts.
The court reporter | 5 | | shall make a full reporting by means of stenographic
hand or | 6 | | machine notes, voice writer reporting, or a combination | 7 | | thereof, of the evidence and such
other proceedings in trials | 8 | | and judicial proceedings to which he is
assigned by the chief | 9 | | judge, and the court reporter may use an electronic
instrument | 10 | | as a supplementary device. In the event that the court
utilizes | 11 | | an audio or video recording system to record the proceedings, a
| 12 | | court reporter shall be in charge of such system; however, the | 13 | | appointment
of a court reporter to be in charge of an audio or | 14 | | video recording system
shall not be required where such system | 15 | | is the judge's personal property or
has been supplied by a | 16 | | party or such party's attorney. To the extent that
it does not | 17 | | substantially interfere with the court reporter's other | 18 | | official duties,
the judge to whom, or a judge of the division | 19 | | to which, a reporter is
assigned may assign a reporter to | 20 | | secretarial or clerical duties arising
out of official court | 21 | | operations.
| 22 | | Unless and until otherwise provided in a Uniform Schedule
| 23 | | of Charges which may hereafter be provided by rule or order of | 24 | | the employer
representative, a court reporter may charge not to |
| | | 10100SB2128ham001 | - 4 - | LRB101 07766 SMS 60651 a |
|
| 1 | | exceed 25˘ per 100 words for
making transcripts of his notes. | 2 | | The fees for making transcripts shall be
paid in the first | 3 | | instance by the party in whose behalf such transcript is
| 4 | | ordered and shall be taxed in the suit.
| 5 | | The transcripts shall be filed and remain with the papers | 6 | | of the case.
When the judge trying the case shall, of his own | 7 | | motion, order a transcript
of the court reporter's notes, the | 8 | | judge may direct the payment of the
charges therefor, and the | 9 | | taxation of the charges as costs in such manner
as to him may | 10 | | seem just. Provided, that the charges for making but one
| 11 | | transcript shall be taxed as costs and the party first ordering | 12 | | the
transcript shall have preference unless it shall be | 13 | | otherwise ordered by
the court.
| 14 | | The change made to this Section by this amendatory Act of | 15 | | 1987 is
intended to apply retroactively from and after January | 16 | | 1, 1987.
| 17 | | (Source: P.A. 94-98, eff. 7-1-05.)"; and
| 18 | | on page 63, by replacing line 8 with " Reporters Act or a court | 19 | | reporter under the Court Reporters Act, no testimony taken in | 20 | | any litigation in this "; and | 21 | | on page 63, by replacing line 12 with " shall be considered part | 22 | | of the administrative record. ".
