deposed or to testify by telephone, audiovisual means or other electronic means before a
designated court or at another location in that state. A court of this state shall
cooperate with courts of other states in designating an appropriate location for the
deposition or testimony.
C. Documentary evidence transmitted from another state to a court of this state by
technological means that do not produce an original writing shall not be excluded from
evidence on an objection based on the means of transmission.
