Section 69.322. Proceedings; Costs of Transcripts of Testimony

In any proceeding where a stenographer is present, the presiding judge or duty judge shall, incident to the disposition of the proceeding, provide by order for the allocation of the costs for the stenographer. Such costs normally include the appearance fee and the cost for the transcription of the notes of testimony, if the court orders transcription or the filing of a notice of an appeal requires it. Upon receipt of such an order, the chief clerk shall forthwith bill the responsible party. If the responsible party fails to pay the amount due within thirty days of the date of the bill, the court shall impose appropriate sanctions to enforce payment.
