Okla. Admin. Code § 260:130-5-11 - Transcripts

(a) Hearings shall be recorded by digital recordings. The Civil Service Division's recording will serve as the official recording for purposes of creating an official written transcript. The Civil Service Division shall prepare a written transcript of the recording only upon written request and receipt of a deposit of cash or cashier's check in an amount determined to be appropriate to cover the costs associated with the transcription, except as prohibited by statute.

(b) Upon application, the Civil Service Division shall pay transcription costs on behalf of an indigent respondent if the respondent establishes indigent conditions through execution of an in forma pauperis affidavit upon a form approved by the Civil Service Division. Should the indigent respondent receive a financial recovery, the respondent shall reimburse the Civil Service Division from those proceeds.

(c) Any party desiring to have a hearing recorded by a court reporter shall request approval by the ALJ before initiating such action. The party making the request shall bear the associated expenses and costs and shall provide a copy of the written transcript to the Civil Service Division at no cost.
