Section 580-802. Conditions of rendition


Latest version.
  • (a) Before making demand that the
      governor  of another state surrender an individual charged criminally in
      this state with having failed to provide for the support of an  obligee,
      the  governor  of  this  state may require a prosecutor of this state to
      demonstrate  that  at  least  sixty  days  previously  the  obligee  had
      initiated  proceedings  for support pursuant to this article or that the
      proceeding would be of no avail.
        (b) If, under this article or a  law  substantially  similar  to  this
      article,  the  Uniform  Reciprocal  Enforcement  of  Support Act, or the
      Revised Uniform Reciprocal Enforcement of Support Act, the  governor  of
      another  state  makes a demand that the governor of this state surrender
      an individual charged criminally in that state  with  having  failed  to
      provide for the support of a child or other individual to whom a duty of
      support  is  owed,  the governor may require a prosecutor to investigate
      the demand  and  report  whether  a  proceeding  for  support  has  been
      initiated  or  would be effective. If it appears that a proceeding would
      be effective but has not been initiated, the governor may delay honoring
      the demand  for  a  reasonable  time  to  permit  the  initiation  of  a
      proceeding.
        (c)  If a proceeding for support has been initiated and the individual
      whose rendition is demanded prevails, the governor may decline to  honor
      the  demand.    If  the  petitioner  prevails  and  the individual whose
      rendition is demanded is subject to a support order,  the  governor  may
      decline  to  honor  the  demand  if the individual is complying with the
      support order.
