(2) (I) IF A COURT REPORTER ORDERED UNDER § 2-503 OF THIS
SUBTITLE TO TAKE TESTIMONY BEFORE A GRAND JURY SERVES IN MORE THAN ONE
COUNTY, THE COUNTIES WHERE THE REPORTER SERVES SHALL APPORTION THE
COMPENSATION UNDER THIS SUBSECTION AS THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE
JUDGES AGREE.
(II) . THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY COUNCIL SHALL PAY THE
COMPENSATION OF A COURT REPORTER TAKING OR TRANSCRIBING GRAND JURY
TESTIMONY IN THE COUNTY.
, COMMITTEE NOTE: Ch. 372, Acts of 2006, which enacted revised CJ Title 8,
also reenacted former CJ § 2-501(b) as subsection (b)(1) with stylistic
changes and added subsection (b)(2), which is derived from the second
sentence of former CJ § 2-503(d) and, as it related to the responsibility of
the County Council, the former first sentence of Public Local Laws, Art. 16
[Montgomery County], § 12-21. The codification of the Montgomery
County provision here is merely for convenience and is not intended, by
reenactment of a single provision, to alter any county's responsibility with
regard to compensation of grand jury reporters.
In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the defined term "circuit court" is
substituted for the former reference to "the court", for clarity.
In subsection (b)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section, the term "court reporter" is
substituted for the former, more limited references to a "stenographer", to
encompass other methods of reporting.
In subsection (b)(2)(i) of this section, reference to a reporter being "ordered"
to take testimony is added to conform to revised CJ § 2-503, which
contemplates the designation of a grand jury reporter from among court
reporters regularly employed by or under contract with a circuit court,
instead of appointment by a jury judge.
Also in subsection (b)(2)(i) of this section, reference to "the compensation
under this subsection" is substituted for the former word "salary", to
conform to the first sentence of former CJ § 2-503(d). That sentence, which
provided for compensation set by "the judges of the court", and the
reference, in the former first sentence of Public Local Laws, Art. 16
[Montgomery County], § 12-21, to compensation "determined ... by the
judge of the circuit court for the county making such appointment", are
deleted in light of revised subsection (b)(1).
Also in subsection (b)(2)(i) of this section, the word "county" is substituted
for the former phrase "of the counties", to distinguish this administrative
judge from the circuit administrative judge. See Md. Rule 16-101c and d
and, as to "county", Art. 1, § 14 of the Code.
Defined term: "Circuit court" § 1-101
