Section 1700.160  Court Reporter

The Department, at its option, will designate a licensed court reporter to make a stenographic record or have the Administrative Law Judge make an audio recording of hearings in all proceedings.  Upon the filing of a motion for review, the Department will provide, by certified mail, a non-certified copy of the transcript to each party.  However, a party may request a non-certified copy of the transcript from the Department or a certified copy of the transcript from the court reporter at that party's own cost, at any stage of the hearing process.  The ALJ will maintain the audio recording until 90 days after the Director has entered a final order, unless a timely notice of civil administrative review is filed, in which case, the ALJ will cause the audio recordings to be transcribed by a certified court reporter and will cause the transcription to become part of the official record.
