court; and (c) testimony must be recorded, rather than be taken
stenographically.
(2) Makes changes to the civil procedure provisions: (a) A civil
demand for a product of discovery is not due until thirty days after a
copy of the demand has been served, rather than requiring that it be
not returned for twenty days; (b) oral testimony may not begin sooner
than six days after the date on which the demand is received, rather
than seven; and (c) requires that when changes are entered upon a
transcript, the original must be retained for comparison purposes.
