California AB2290 modifies the handling of oral deposition transcripts in civil discovery.

California AB2290 amends Section 2025.550 of the Code of Civil Procedure to change how deposition transcripts are handled. Instead of filing the transcript with the court, the deposition officer or a registered entity must securely seal the transcript and send it to the attorney who noticed the deposition. The transcript can be transmitted electronically if certain conditions are met, including encryption and tamper-proof storage. The attorney must certify the transcript's authenticity when presented to the court.
