§ 657 - Transcribing damaged records
§ 657. Transcribing damaged records
When records in the court clerk's office become faded, defaced, torn or otherwise injured, so as to endanger the permanent legibility or proper preservation of the same, by an order in writing recorded in the court clerk's office, the court administrator shall direct the court clerk to provide suitable books and transcribe such records therein. At the end of a transcript of record so made, he shall certify under his 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 thereof 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 county. (Amended 1967, No. 174, § 8.)
