SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Recording of trial, etc.; misdemeanor cases in circuit court. Requires the circuit court in misdemeanor cases to allow the Commonwealth, the defendant, or both to record evidence and incidents of trial by a mechanical or electronic device in cases in which there is no court reporter or other court-approved verbatim recording. The purpose of the recording is to aid counsel in producing a statement of facts for appeal when there is no transcript. The recording will not be made a part of the record unless otherwise permitted.
