New York Consolidated Laws, Judiciary Law - JUD § 299. Stenographers must furnish gratuitously copies of proceedings to judges

Each stenographer, specified in this chapter or the civil practice act,  1 surrogate's court act,  2 court of claims act or New York city civil court act, must, upon request, furnish, with all reasonable diligence and without charge, to the judge holding a term or sitting, which he has attended, a copy written out at length from his stenographic notes, of the testimony and proceedings, or a part thereof, upon a trial or hearing, at that term or sitting. But this section does not affect a provision of law authorizing the judge to direct a party or the parties to an action or special proceeding, or the county treasurer, to pay the stenographer's fees for such a copy.
