LAC 1:III.305. Record of Hearings; Copies of Audio Recordings; Transcripts

A. All decisions, orders, and notices issued by the administrative law judge; all pleadings, audio recordings or transcripts (if available) of hearings; or documentation, information, or other materials of any kind submitted in a matter shall be public record and shall be available for inspection by the public, except as otherwise provided by law. B. DAL makes an audio recording of all hearings, but only transcribes the recordings upon written request and pre-payment of costs. Requests for transcripts shall be made in writing and be submitted to the Administrative Hearings Clerk. The administrative hearings clerk will furnish an estimate of the transcription costs. The estimated costs shall be paid before the recording will be transcribed. If the estimated costs are less than the actual cost, the difference must be paid in full before the transcript will be delivered. All transcripts requested and transcribed will be filed into the adjudicatory record.
