Establishes and modifies provisions relating to court reporters

HB 423 requires court reporters in Missouri to be certified by the Board of Certified Court Reporter Examiners to legally provide court reporting services for pay. The bill prohibits unlicensed practice, using titles like "court reporter" without certification, and signing transcripts without personally reporting proceedings. Violations are punishable as a misdemeanor, and the law applies to both individual court reporters and court reporting firms operating within Missouri.
