          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 182.20 of the  criminal  procedure
     2  law,  as  amended by chapter 332 of the laws of 2009, is amended to read
     3  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,
     9  Erie,  Kings,  New  York,  Niagara,  Oneida,  Onondaga, Ontario, Orange,

    15  counsel,  consents  on the record. Such consent shall be required at the
    16  commencement of each electronic appearance to  such  electronic  appear-
    17  ance.

    20  dure law made by section one of this act shall not affect the repeal  of
    21  such section and shall be deemed repealed therewith.
