HB188

Louisiana HB188 allows courts to use digital transcription platforms for preserving court records.

Louisiana HB188 permits courts to use digital transcription platforms for preserving court records. Certified court reporters can transcribe records virtually using cloud-based systems. A court reporter does not need to be physically present to certify the transcript. Court personnel can operate digital recording systems without needing digital certification but must be trained in best practices. This law aims to address court reporter shortages by allowing remote operation of recording equipment.
