25-1342. Conditions of rendition
A. Before making a demand that the governor of another state surrender an
individual, 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 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.
