S 6798 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Permits certain defendants in a criminal action in Delaware, Otsego or Schoharie county to appear electronically, with the approval of the court

This bill allows certain criminal defendants in Delaware, Otsego, and Schoharie counties to appear in court via electronic means instead of being physically present. The court must approve each appearance, and the defendant must agree to it after speaking with their lawyer. This change applies to specific counties where the court administrator has already authorized the use of virtual appearances. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
