NOTICE FROM THE COURT REPORTERS BOARD OF CALIFORNIA

Big changes are ahead for Court Reporters, effective January 1, 2025, following the signing of Sunset
Bill AB 3252.  Some of these changes are listed below:

1) Allows for reciprocity with the NVRA (National Verbatim Reporters Association) CVR and CVR-S certification.  If a hopeful licensee has either certification, they are not required to take the Board's skills test, only the two written tests - English and Professional Practice - for licensure.

2) Pass rate for the skills test will be lowered to 95% from 97.5%.

3) The CRB can now collect email addresses from licensees to share with the public. This allows consumers to more quickly and efficiently reach court reporters to request transcripts.

4) Licensees must state their name and license number at the beginning of a proceeding.  Stating a license number will ensure parties know they have a licensed court reporter reporting and producing a transcript of the proceeding. 

Please contact the Court Reporters Board of California with any questions.
