The Ohio Supreme Court’s task force on court reporter certification released its 54-page report along with 17 recommendations for state certification on June 22.
Thirty states already have mandatory certification for court reporters, and another eight – Indiana & Kentucky included -- have voluntary registration systems in effect, according to the National Court Reporters’ Association. Ohio, however, at this point does not have any statewide requirements.
Among the recommendations sent the Supreme Court are: the creation of a commission to oversee certification of court reporters; classifying court reporters according to a 5-tiered structure & certifying them as same, requiring applicants be able to receive passing grades on official exam to be adopted by that commission; and the adoption of a Code of Ethics & Professionalism, along with other regulations and a grievance system to investigate alleged & prosecute wrongdoings.
