These rules amend the process for the application for licensure. Specifically, the proposed change introduces an additional examination accepted upon application for licensure which is reflective of industry advancements and practical applications by the individuals seeking licensure. This additional exam includes a skills test for the American Association of Electronic Reporters and Transcribers (AAERT) (CER-certified electronic court reporter). The rules also amend the standards of professional conduct. Specifically, the proposed change adds the word “un-transcribed” to the description of notes required to be secured by licensees as part of their standards of professional conduct.
