HB 25-1301

House Bill 25-1301, which has been signed into law, allows voice court reporters to give oaths or affirmations in legal settings. Previously, only certain professionals were allowed to do this, but now voice reporters are included in that list. This change affects anyone who interacts with a voice court reporter in a legal context, such as during depositions or other proceedings where an oath is required. Since the bill has been signed, it means the law has officially changed and voice reporters can now administer oaths legally.

Official Summary

Current law does not allow a voice court reporter to administer an oath or affirmation. The act adds voice reporters to the list of professionals who may administer an oath or affirmation. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
