Section 455:10-3-15 - Transcripts

(a) Hearings shall be recorded by digital recordings. The Commission's recording will serve as the official recording for purposes of creating an official written transcript. The Commission shall prepare a written transcript of the recording only upon written request and receipt of a deposit of cash or cashiers check in an amount determined to be appropriate to cover the costs associated with the transcription, except as prohibited by statute.

(b) Upon application, the Commission shall pay transcription costs on behalf of an indigent respondent, if the respondent establishes indigent condition through execution of an in forma pauperis affidavit upon a form approved by the Commission. Should the indigent respondent receive a financial recovery, the respondent shall reimburse the Commission from those proceeds. [74:840-1.21].

(c) Any party desiring to have a hearing or Alternative Dispute Resolution Program procedure recorded by a court reporter shall request approval of the presiding official before initiating such action. The party making the request shall bear the associated expenses and costs and shall provide a copy of the written transcript to the Commission at no cost.

Added at 13 Ok Reg 3025, eff 7-15-96; Amended at 26 Ok Reg 559, eff 3-1-08 through 7-14-09 (emergency)¹; Amended at 26 Ok Reg 2690, eff 7-25-09

¹This emergency action expired before being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency amendatory action, the last effective permanent text is reinstated. Therefore, on 7-15-09 (after the 7-14-09 expiration of the emergency action), the text of 455:10-1-2 reverted back to the permanent text that became effective 7-15-96, as was last published in the 2006 Edition of the OAC, and remained as such until amended again by permanent action on 7-25-09.
