  1. OK Code
  2. Title 43

A. Before making a 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 (60) days previously the obligee had initiated

proceedings for support pursuant to this act or that the proceeding

would be of no avail.

B. If, under this act or a law substantially similar to this

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.
