court. Such court reporter shall be a sworn officer of the court, and

transferred judge, shall, if the regular reporter is for any reason
unavailable and the transfer is deemed necessary, order the temporary
transfer of the official court reporter of the court of such transferred
judge to accompany the judge and perform all the duties of the official
court reporter of the court to which the judge is transferred in the
matters heard or considered by the transferred judge while so
transferred, and the official court reporter shall perform the same
duties, make the same charges for his services, and be subject to the
same laws and rules while acting as such transferred reporter as though
he were the* regularly appointed official reporter of the court to which
he was temporarily appointed.

2. Upon the request made to the supreme court by a circuit judge whose
official reporter is absent by reason of illness or physical incapacity,
for the transfer of a reporter, the supreme court may, with the consent
of the judge appointing him, or without such consent if said judge is
absent or incapacitated, order the temporary transfer of another official
reporter to said circuit court, and the official reporter shall perform
the same duties, make the same charges for his services, and be subject
to the same laws and rules while acting as such transferred reporter as
though he were the regularly appointed official reporter of the court to
which he was temporarily appointed.

3. In all judicial circuits having more than one circuit judge, in the
absence or incapacity of one of the judges, the presiding judge may order
the court reporter of said absent or incapacitated judge to act as court
reporter of another division of said court when he shall deem such action
necessary. (L. 1951 p. 423 § 1, A.L. 1955 p. 499, A.L. 1978 H.B. 1634)
