The Supreme Court may by rule provide for change of venue in criminal prosecutions
upon motion, for the prevention of prejudice to the defendant or for the convenience
of parties and witnesses and in the interests of justice. The court to which a prosecution
is transferred shall thereby have jurisdiction of the cause, and the same proceedings
shall be had therein as though the venue had not been changed. (Amended 1969, No. 22, § 1; 1973, No. 118, § 10, eff. Oct. 1, 1973; 1973, No. 193 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. April 9, 1974; 2009, No. 154 (Adj. Sess.), § 102.)
