Section 7421. Removal of proceedings

Any  time after commencement of a
  proceeding under this article, the superintendent may apply ex parte  to
  the  court or any justice thereof for an order changing the venue of and
  removing the proceeding to Albany county, or, in the discretion  of  the
  superintendent, to any other county of this state in which he deems that
  such proceeding may be most economically and efficiently conducted. Upon
  the  filing  of  any  such application, the court or any justice thereof
  shall direct the clerk of the county wherein such proceeding is  pending
  to transmit all papers filed therein with such clerk to the clerk of the
  county  to  which  such  proceeding  is  removed.  The  proceeding shall
  thereafter be conducted in such other  county  as  though  it  had  been
  commenced in such county.
