COURT REPORTING/CAPTIONING WK

This is a commemorative resolution (not a law), designating February 7-14, 2026, as "Court Reporting and Captioning Week" in Illinois. It honors court reporters and captioners (including real-time captioners providing CART services) for their role in preserving legal records, ensuring accessibility for deaf/hard-of-hearing individuals, and supporting justice proceedings. The resolution recognizes their licensed work in safeguarding confidential records and translating spoken word into searchable text. It has no binding effect and serves solely to acknowledge these professionals' contributions.
