The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6036, seeks to amend chapter 54 of the general statutes to clarify the financial responsibilities associated with transcripts in administrative proceedings. Specifically, the bill introduces a provision that prohibits any party involved in such proceedings from being charged or held financially responsible for the costs of providing copies of the transcripts to the agency conducting the proceedings or to any third party to whom the agency has delegated its adjudicatory authority.
This legislative change aims to alleviate the financial burden on parties involved in administrative proceedings by ensuring that the costs of transcripts are not passed on to them. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but focuses solely on the insertion of the new language regarding the responsibility for transcript costs.
