HB 3084 increases base salaries for Oklahoma court reporters to $55,000 annually (from $53,000), raises longevity pay from $400 to $500 per year (capped at $10,000 annually), and adds a $3,000 annual equipment allowance. The bill also creates new annual bonuses of $2,000 per certification for reporters holding specific credentials (RPR, RMR, RDR, or CRR), with a maximum $8,000 bonus for multiple certifications. It directly affects certified court reporters working in district courts, the Workers' Compensation Court, and the Corporation Commission. The changes take effect July 1, 2026.
