I have a question for our legislative officials.
When Ms. Kim was suggesting this, she said that: “As the bill currently stands, any oral judgment entered into the record will still require someone to pay for and order the trial transcript, which is costly and can be time-consuming.”
Are officials able to speak to the point she made there? What she was stating in her opening statement seems to go against the open court concept, because some people will still have a monetary burden in accessing these records.
