If the court or judge is satisfied that the examination of the witness is necessary an order must be made that the witness be examined conditionally at a specified time and place, and that a copy of the order be served on counsel for the opposing party within a specified time before that fixed for the examination. If the witness is a child under thirteen (13) years of age or a vulnerable adult as defined in Section 10-103 of Title 43A of the Oklahoma Statutes, the court can allow the witness to testify through an alternative method pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Child Witness Testimony by Alternative Methods Act or Section 2611.2 of Title 12 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
