Legislation

* § 182.30 Regulation of electronic appearances by the chief

administrator.

The chief administrator of the courts shall adopt rules to regulate
the conduct of electronic appearances pursuant to this article that
shall, among other provisions, be designed to: (a) provide appropriate
access to electronic appearances by crime victims and their families,
family members of defendants, the media and other members of the public;
provided that such appropriate access shall be limited to the means of
projecting a proceeding being conducted entirely by electronic
appearances in a publicly accessible area of a courthouse or by
projecting the electronic appearances of a proceeding comprised of both
in-person physical appearances and electronic appearances in the
courtroom in which the proceeding is taking place; and (b) ensure that
any system for arraignments provides a full and fair opportunity for any
defendant, without prejudice, to choose to have an arraignment conducted
with the defendant physically present, rather than through an electronic
appearance.
