S 9334 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Permits the electronic appearance of a defendant in the county of Oswego

This bill allows criminal defendants in Oswego County to appear in court via electronic means instead of being physically present, provided the court approves and the defendant agrees. The law requires that the county's chief court administrator has authorized this option and that the defendant explicitly consents to the electronic appearance at the start of each session. By amending the state's criminal procedure code, the measure expands a list of counties where remote court appearances are permitted, aiming to increase flexibility in handling criminal cases.
