Section 27-210-42-112 - Record of hearing

PERS will ensure that all hearings are recorded by electronic or stenographic means. The method used to record each hearing shall be determined by PERS.

In response to a written request for a transcript of proceedings recorded by electronic means, PERS will provide an audio recording of the hearing. The requesting party must contact a certified court reporter to transcribe and certify, under penalty of perjury, on the transcript that he or she heard the witness sworn on the recording and that the transcript is a correct writing of the recording. It is the responsibility of the party requesting the transcript to pay any costs associated with preparation of the requested transcript.

Any party desiring a transcript of a hearing recorded by stenographic means shall make request of the court reporter in attendance and shall be responsible for the payment of the cost of preparation of the transcript.

In the event the claimant appeals the decision of the Board to the Circuit Court of Hinds County, a certified copy of the transcript must be provided to the Executive Director with cost to be borne by the appealing party.
