Oklahoma HB3585 revises court reporter duties, expands recording methods, adjusts salaries, and modifies certifications and examinations for court.

Oklahoma HB3585 amends the duties of court reporters to allow the use of electronic instruments as supplementary devices and removes the prohibition on using steno-masks for reporting. It expands the methods by which court reporters can record proceedings, including written shorthand, machine shorthand, steno-mask shorthand, and other methods approved by the Supreme Court. The bill increases the annual salary for court reporters to between $53,000 and $70,000, and provides additional compensation for those holding certain certifications.
