states - Actions upon claims arising in other states.

A. The Commissioner of Labor may enter into reciprocal

agreements with the Labor Department or corresponding agency of

another state, or with the person, board, officer, or commission

authorized to act on behalf of that department or agency having

jurisdiction for the collection of wages unlawfully withheld from

employees by out-of-state employers and for the collection of other

debts lawfully owed to the State Department of Labor.

B. The Commissioner of Labor shall, upon the written request of

the Department of Labor or other corresponding agency of any other

state or of any person, board, officer or commission of such state

authorized to act for and on behalf of such labor department or

corresponding agency, maintain actions in the courts of this state

upon assigned claims for wages, judgments and demands arising in

such other state in the same manner and to the same extent that such

actions by the Commissioner of Labor are authorized when arising in

this state; provided, however, that such actions may be commenced

and maintained only in those cases where such other state by

appropriate legislation or by reciprocal agreement extends a like

comity to cases arising in the state.
