Transcribing damaged records When records in the Office of the Superior Court Clerk become faded, defaced, torn, or otherwise injured, so as to endanger the permanent legibility or proper preservation of the same, the Court Administrator may direct the court clerk to provide suitable books and transcribe such records into the books provided. At the end of a transcript of record so made, the clerk shall certify under official signature and the seal of the court that the same is a true transcript of the original record. Such transcript or a duly certified copy of the transcript shall be entitled to the same faith and credit and have the same force as the original record. The expense of making such transcript shall be paid by the State. (Amended 1967, No. 174, § 8; 2009, No. 154 (Adj. Sess.), § 39; 2013, No. 67, § 5; 2021, No. 105 (Adj. Sess.), § 11, eff.
