Bill Caption

Relating to the filing by a court reporter of an official transcript of a court proceeding.

Fiscal Notes

There is no significant fiscal implication to State or local government.

Bill Analysis

HB 1494 would amend the Government Code to prohibit an official court reporter from being required to file an official transcript of a trial before the 60th day after the date a notice of appeal is filed.

Vote Recommendation Notes

This bill would make mostly administrative, clerical, and non-substantive updates to current code with no discernible connection to our liberty principles, therefore we are neutral on HB 1494. This would allow reporters sufficient time to file their official transcripts of a trial.
