Introduced·2/26/26

Louisiana HB527 revises court reporter fees across all judicial districts.

Louisiana HB527 revises the fees charged by court reporters in all judicial districts. It establishes a uniform fee schedule, setting a maximum of $6 per 32-line page transcript and up to $2 per page per certified copy. The bill also allows for expedited fees for quicker transcriptions and prohibits court reporters from charging sitting fees. The fees are to be retained by the court reporters as compensation, in addition to their salary, and are taxed as costs of the case. HB527 repeals previous laws that set varying fees for different districts.
