If the business of a magistrate court with a magistrate judge presiding becomes congested or if a magistrate judge is, for any cause, unable to act, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court may, by order, temporarily transfer to such magistrate court a magistrate judge from another circuit. The magistrate judge acting in a county other than one in his or her own circuit shall have all the powers and duties of a magistrate judge regularly appointed and qualified therein.
