AB 1385 is authored by
Assemblymember Miguel Santiago
CCRA is proud to announce that Assemblymember Miguel Santiago from the 53rd Assembly District, which encompasses parts of Downtown Los Angeles and East Los Angeles, has agreed to author legislation to finally increase the statutorily set transcript rate. We are equally proud to announce that Service Employees International Union (SEIU) has joined this fight by co-sponsoring AB 1385. This rate increase is long overdue, and we are building a strong campaign to make it happen this year.
2019 marks 30 years since California court reporters have received a raise on their transcripts, yet the price of production continues to rise. Waiting 30 years to increase the rate is unconscionable. CCRA and California's court reporters will not wait any longer. Court reporters deserve better, and we must all work together to receive our just compensation for our hard work!
