(A) When stenotype or shorthand notes have been taken in a case, as provided in § 33.02, if the Court or either party to the suit or his or her attorney requests transcripts of any portion of the notes to be transcribed, the court reporter reporting the case shall make full and accurate transcripts thereof for the use of the Court or the party. The Court may direct the official court reporter to furnish to the Court and parties, copies of the decisions rendered and charges delivered by the Court in pending cases.
(B) When the compensation for transcripts, copies of decisions, or charges is taxed as a part of the costs, the transcripts, copies of decisions, and charges shall remain on the file with the papers of the case and shall be available to either party for incorporation in the case.
(C) The compensation for making transcripts and copies, when requested by a party, shall be the same as those established in the Court of Common Pleas of Highland County, and shall be paid for by the party requesting them in a civil case. In a criminal case, if ordered by the prosecuting attorney, or by the Judge of the Court, they shall be taxed in the costs, and if ordered by the defendant shall be prepaid by the defendant and taxed in the costs. If the defendant in a criminal case shall, upon final judgment, be ordered to pay the costs, he or she shall be allowed as credit any transcripts prepaid by him or her.
