III. Disciplinary Actions<br />
A. Under the Personnel Rules<br />
<strong>Official</strong> court reporters are subject to disciplinary action pursuant to the Rules Relating to<br />
the <strong>Kansas</strong> <strong>Court</strong> Personnel System <strong>for</strong> deficiencies in work per<strong>for</strong>mance, personal<br />
misconduct, or specified serious or grievous offenses. See Personnel Rules 7.1, 7 .2, and<br />
7.3. Actions pursuant to the personnel rules are initiated by the reporter's appointing<br />
authority or designee and relate to the reporter's employment with the court.<br />
B. Under Rules Relating to the State Board of Examiners of <strong>Court</strong> <strong>Reporters</strong><br />
Under Supreme <strong>Court</strong> Rules, disciplinary action may also be initiated against a court<br />
reporter by the Board of Examiners of <strong>Court</strong> <strong>Reporters</strong> pursuant to Board Rule No. 9 <strong>for</strong><br />
specified ethical violations. See Board Rule No. 9.F. There is some overlap in the nature<br />
of the conduct involved in both types of disciplinary proceedings. A reporter may be<br />
subject to action under one or the other or both types of proceedings. Actions by the<br />
Board bring into question the reporter's continued licensure in the State of <strong>Kansas</strong>. Both<br />
official and freelance reporters are subject to the Board's jurisdiction.<br />
