Advisory Committee Comment - 2008 Amendment

On November 19, 2007, the Supreme Court issued an order promulgating Minn. R. Crim. P. 1.05 governing the use of interactive video teleconference (ITV) in criminal proceedings. The order referred the task of developing rules governing the administrative procedures for conducting ITV hearings in criminal matters to the Advisory Committee on General Rules of Practice for the District Courts. In the interim, the Court ordered the State Court Administrator to develop temporary administrative procedures. The administrative procedures are set forth in Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 131.07 for the District Courts.
