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.
