Sec. 1. (a) This section applies when a change of venue is taken from the county in any civil action pending in any circuit, superior, or probate court of Indiana from any county having two (2) or more adjoining counties.
(b) If the parties to the action agree in open court within three (3) days from the filing of the affidavit or motion for the change of venue upon the county to which the change of venue of the action shall be changed, it is the duty of the court to send, transfer, and venue the action to the agreed upon county.
(c) In the absence of an agreement described in subsection (b), within two (2) days the court shall submit to the parties a written list of all the counties adjoining the county from which the venue is changed. Within two (2) days of receiving the list, the parties shall alternately strike off the names of the counties except one (1). The moving party for the change of venue is the first to strike, and the action shall be sent to the county not stricken off under this procedure.
