Section 91. Stenographers to furnish copies of proceedings

Upon any
  examination,  hearing  or  trial,  where  stenographic  minutes  of  the
  proceedings have been taken by an official stenographer of the court, or
  by  a stenographer employed for the purpose, such stenographer must upon
  request furnish, with all reasonable diligence, to the defendant or  his
  attorney,  or  to  the  complainant  or his attorney, or to a party in a
  civil case arising out of the same state of facts or to his attorney,  a
  copy transcribed from his stenographic notes of such minutes, testimony,
  proceedings,  or  part  thereof, upon the examination, hearing or trial,
  upon payment of the fees therefor by the person requiring such copy.  If
  such  copy  is required by the district attorney or the attorney general
  or by a superior court when a defendant has been held for the action  of
  a  grand  jury  pursuant  to  article one hundred eighty of the criminal
  procedure law, a stenographer is entitled to his fees therefor,  but  he
  must  furnish  the copy upon receiving a certificate of the sum to which
  he is entitled, which shall be a city or state charge and must  be  paid
  by  the  proper  financial  officer  of  the  city  or  state  upon such
  certificate, like other city or state charges. In all  cases  of  appeal
  from  an  order  or  judgment  made  or  rendered  in the court, where a
  transcript  of  the  stenographer's  minutes  of  the  proceedings   and
  testimony given on the trial or hearing, becomes a necessary part of the
  record  on  appeal, the stenographer is entitled to his fees therefor in
  the same manner as provided in this section, which shall be  paid  or  a
  certificate therefor furnished by the appellant, as the case may be.
