Delivered January 29, 2004
The Board of Certified Court Reporter Examiners has recommended amendments to Section 14 of the Regulations. We have considered the Board's proposals and agree with them. We thank the Board for its work.
We hereby amend and republish Sections 14(c) and 14(d) of the Regulations. These amendments apply to those persons whose certification test applications are received after the date of this per curiam. These amendments will not apply to test applicants who failed portions of the test given on September 27, 2003, and who are taking only the previously failed portions of the test on the April 2004 testing date. The changes made are illustrated in the endnote.
