A 10298 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to prohibiting the sale of a court transcript by any person other than a stenographer

This bill prohibits anyone other than a stenographer from selling court transcripts. It directly affects individuals, attorneys, and businesses that previously purchased or resold transcripts, restricting sales to only licensed stenographers who provide certified copies after fees are paid. The law allows purchasers to copy transcripts for court use or internal purposes without additional fees but bans further sale or distribution to others. This changes existing practices by limiting who can commercially distribute transcripts while clarifying permitted uses for buyers.
