1 AN ACT to amend the Court Reporters Act by changing 4.1.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Court Reporters Act is amended by
5 changing Section 4.1 as follows:
6 (705 ILCS 70/4.1) (from Ch. 37, par. 654.1)
7 Sec. 4.1. Appointment and Salary of Administrative
8 Personnel.
9 (a) The Supreme Court may authorize the chief judge of
10 any single county circuit in which official court reporting
11 services are centrally administered, (1) to appoint from
12 among the court reporters appointed in the circuit an
13 Administrator of Court Reporters and such other
14 administrative, secretarial, and support staff as may be
15 necessary, a Deputy Administrator of Court Reporters and 2
16 Assistant Administrators of Court Reporters, (2) to designate
17 from among the court reporters appointed in the circuit one
18 Reporter Supervisor and one Assistant Reporter Supervisor for
19 each Department and Division of the circuit court, and (3) to
20 appoint secretarial and other support staff to assist the
21 Administrator. Each Administrator, Deputy Administrator,
22 Assistant Administrator, Reporter Supervisor, and Assistant
23 Reporter Supervisor shall have an "A" proficiency rating, by
24 examination, as provided in Section 7.
25 (b) Administrative personnel appointed under this
26 Section shall be paid by the State.
27 (1) In addition to their regular salary as official
28 court reporters, the administrative personnel appointed under
29 this Section shall be paid such additional sums as the
30 Supreme Court specifies. Such sums shall be included in the
31 pay schedule adopted pursuant to Section 8. The additional
-2- LRB9011366SMdv

2 responsibility borne by the administrative personnel and the
3 consequent lack of opportunity to produce transcripts of
4 testimony. The additional amounts paid to such personnel

6 (A) Administrator of Court Reporters: $20,000 per
7 year;
8 (B) Deputy Administrator of Court Reporters:
9 $15,000 per year;
10 (C) Assistant Administrators of Court Reporters:
