AOC TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES

SB 504 appropriates $12 million from New Mexico's general fund to the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) for statewide court transcription services during fiscal year 2026. This funding supports converting audio recordings from court proceedings into written transcripts, which are used for official court records and accessibility. Any unspent portion of the appropriation must be returned to the general fund by the end of fiscal year 2026. The bill was passed by committee but postponed indefinitely on June 3, 2025.
