N.Y. Criminal Procedure Law § 195.30: Waiver of indictment; approval of waiver by the court

§ 195.30 Waiver of indictment; approval of waiver by the court.

The court shall determine whether the waiver of indictment complies

with the provisions of sections 195.10 and 195.20. If satisfied that

the waiver complies with such provisions, the court shall approve the

waiver and execute a written order to that effect. When the waiver is

approved by a local criminal court, the local criminal court shall

promptly transmit to the appropriate superior court the written waiver

and order approving the waiver, along with all other documents pertinent

to the action. Until such papers are received by the superior court,

the action is deemed to be pending in the local criminal court.
