CCRA Moving Legislation For You

Assembly Bill 655, authored by Assembly member Quirk Silva from Fullerton, passed through from the Assembly Floor on Thursday, May 23rd, with 67 aye votes!  The bill sponsored by CCRA would allow the trial courts to negotiate with cities and counties throughout our state to gain funding for court reporter services.  This bill has passed through the Assembly Judiciary Committee then through the Assembly Appropriations Committee.  Now this bill heads to the Senate for their consideration.  While the state budget doesn't seem to be getting better, the CCRA Board of Directors and Legislative Committee are committed to finding legislative solutions to help ensure court reporter services for the California Trial Courts.  Each year, CCRA has two legislative meetings. Reporter representatives from around the state are invited to participate and bring legislative suggestions to further all aspects of our profession - freelance, official, and CART.  CCRA is the only state association who has two lobbyists in Sacramento working on behalf of our profession.
