A verbatim record of the proceeding in each preliminary hearing shall be made under the direction of the committing magistrate upon request of either the prosecuting attorney or the defendant. A copy of the transcript of the record of the proceeding shall be furnished to the defendant and to the prosecuting attorney if either requests it. If a transcript is requested by the defendant and the committing magistrate finds that the defendant is indigent, its cost shall be borne by the county where the venue of the alleged offense was originally laid.
In such case the committing magistrate shall follow the procedures set forth in chapter 23A-40 . At the conclusion of the preliminary hearing the committing magistrate shall forthwith transmit to the clerk of the trial court having jurisdiction of the offense, all papers of the proceeding, any bail taken by him, and all exhibits received in the hearing. The circuit court may, for good cause shown, limit access to the record of the proceeding.
