Okla. Stat. tit. 20, § 20-106.6: Assignment of reporters - Expenses

The presiding judge may assign a court reporter to serve

anywhere within the administrative district in which the court

reporter is appointed. A court reporter shall be paid travel

expenses incurred in connection with his official duties outside the

county wherein he resides. No expenses shall be paid by the state

to a court reporter for travel in his county of residence. Expense

vouchers shall be submitted to the Supreme Court for approval. The

expense vouchers or claims submitted to the Supreme Court shall have

endorsed thereon the signed approval of the presiding judge of the

district in which the court reporter incurred the expense for which

claim is made.

The Supreme Court may, with the consent of the presiding judge

of his district, assign a court reporter to temporary service

outside his own administrative district. A court reporter shall be

paid travel expenses incurred in connection with his official duties

during such periods of temporary assignment. Whenever a court

reporter is assigned to serve a district court outside his judicial

administrative district, he shall submit a claim for his mileage,

subsistence expense or per diem, as the case may be, to the court

clerk in the county where he is assigned to serve and the claim, at

the rate authorized by the state, shall, upon its approval by the

chief judge, be paid by check or warrant drawn against the court

fund.
