Certified Shorthand Reporters Board

Shorthand reporters became regulated in 1967. No person may practice shorthand reporting on a temporary or permanent basis in the State without being certified under the Act. The practice of shorthand reporting means reporting by the use of any system of manual or mechanical shorthand writing of Grand Jury proceedings, court proceedings, court related proceedings of like character, or proceedings of an administrative agency when the final decision of the agency is likely to be subject to judicial review. The Board is composed of six licensed shorthand reporters and one public member appointed by the Secretary. The Board constructs examinations and makes recommendations to the Secretary regarding matters of discipline and professional conduct.
