518C.802 CONDITIONS OF RENDITION.
(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 60 days previously
the obligee had initiated proceedings for support pursuant to this chapter or that the proceeding
would be of no avail.
(b) If, under this chapter or a law substantially similar to this chapter, 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.
