For transcripts requested by a party other than the Commonwealth or a political subdivision, court reporters shall be paid for their professional services an amount equal to the amount charged a requesting party as set forth in 4008(A)(1)(a) and (c) (if applicable), plus an additional $1.00 per page.2. For transcripts requested by the Commonwealth or a political subdivision, court reporters shall be paid for their professional services an amount equal to the amount charged a requesting party as set forth in 4008(A)(1)(b) and (c) (if applicable), plus an additional $1.00 per page for copies requested by a party other than the Commonwealth or a political subdivision.3. For a rough draft transcript, court reporters shall be paid for their professional services an amount equal to the amount charged a requesting party as set forth in 4008(A)(2).4. For real time transmission of the court reporters' translated notes, court reporters shall be paid for their professional services the sum of $150.00 for each half day or less of transcription services provided and $300.00 for each day in which the proceedings exceed a half day.5. The amount of compensation to be paid to court reporters for their professional services in the preparation and production of transcripts is not to be reduced notwithstanding the waiver or reduction in the cost of a transcript to a litigant pursuant to 4008(B).6.

Nos. 4007-4009 and is not intended to reduce or otherwise limit the income of court reporters.
