The bill amends Code of Civil Procedure Article 195.1 to update the provisions regarding judicial proceedings conducted by remote technology. It replaces the term "audio-visual means" with "remote technology" and establishes that in civil proceedings not requiring witness testimony or evidence, a party can notify the court at least ten days before a hearing to appear remotely. The court is required to allow this remote appearance if it has the necessary technology, unless it provides written reasons for declining the request for good cause. Additionally, the court must ensure that all parties can fully participate in the proceedings, regardless of their mode of appearance.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that remote appearances must adhere to privacy and security requirements set by the court. It also introduces a process for parties or court personnel to report any technology or audibility issues during remote proceedings. Lastly, it clarifies that judge trials can also be conducted via remote technology with the consent of all parties and the court's permission.
