Reviewer note: Transcribed 2026-10-07 (California T4 Imperial build 2026-10-07) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-imperial/docs/general/executive-order-re-ab199-implementation-july-2022.pdf (1781136 bytes, sha256 b23f3f095f65269ab5c60da0ab87a115c0d18c44c7f55cd8d69b530417eacdf6; 1 page) - transcribed by eye from the rendered page image (200 dpi), the page read against its image; RapidOCR's reading served only as a second reader - every six-word window of the transcription was looked up in it and every miss checked on the page image, and every quotation mark and apostrophe checked on a crop of the page (custody vision/check-log.md); pleading line numbers omitted, a running footer transcribed once, handwritten fills in place, with a closing bracketed note; a signature itself is not transcribed. Review note: The order's footer prints the title of another order (“EXECUTIVE ORDER RE: CONTINUATION OF OUT-OF-CUSTODY MISDEMEANORS AND INFRACTIONS”), transcribed as printed. The order applies until the Judicial Council of California develops procedures and forms for remote appearances in misdemeanor and felony cases; the court's Remote Appearances page still cites it (read 2026-10-07). Local Rule 2.21 (e) (amended July 1, 2026) sets five business days for remote registration; a review task asks which governs traffic and criminal requests.
