It would reduce the time that judges would spend reviewing these requests, thus offering financial savings to the court's judicial contract budget, since we would have a strict guidelines on how many a person could have.

B2 Monitor Comments: There is an undue burden in the last sentence of the bill where we could be required to provide a transcription of a releasable audio recording. That is not part of our original record. While the protection of privacy of a 9-1-1 caller included in the rest of the bill is not an issue, we would need to see the transcription requirement addressed so that the labor and cost of supplying the new form of the information would not fall on the 9-1-1 center staff and budget.
