     3  of the laws of 2022, is amended to read as follows:
     4    1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law and except  as  provided
     5  in  section  182.30  of  this article, the court, in its discretion, may
     6  dispense with the  personal  appearance  of  the  defendant,  except  an
     7  appearance  at  a hearing or trial, and conduct an electronic appearance
     8  in connection with a criminal action pending in Albany,  Bronx,  Broome,
