 1 Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision nine of section 1.20,
 2 sections 110.10, 120.10, 120.40, 120.90, 140.20, 140.27, 140.40, 170.10
 3 and 180.10 of this chapter or any other provision of law as they pertain
 4 to a defendant's personal appearance at arraignment, in every county not
 5 wholly included within a city, the court in its discretion may dispense
 6 with the defendant's personal appearance at the arraignment and conduct
 7 an electronic arraignment, provided that:
 8 1. The defendant has waived in writing their right to personally
 9 appear at their arraignment and has consented to be arraigned by the
 10 electronic arraignment process;
 11 2. The personal appearance of the defendant at the arraignment would
 12 result in an unreasonable delay in the preliminary proceeding; and

 14 electronic arraignments for the court, pursuant to the provisions of
 15 section 185.40 of this article.

 21 viewed or inspected except as may be authorized by rules of the chief
 22 administrator of the courts; and
 23 3. Stenographic recording of the arraignment shall be made to the same
 24 extent as if it were an ordinary arraignment rather than an electronic
 25 arraignment.
 26 § 185.40 Approval by the chief administrator of the courts.
 27 1. The appropriate administrative judge shall submit to the chief
 28 administrator of the courts a written proposal
