Sec. 46b-213u. Conditions of rendition.
Sec. 46b-213u. Conditions of rendition. (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 state's attorney or assistant state's attorney to demonstrate that at least sixty
days previously the obligee had initiated proceedings for support pursuant to sections
46b-212 to 46b-213w, inclusive, or that the proceeding would be of no avail.
(b) If, under sections 46b-212 to 46b-213w, inclusive, or a law substantially similar
to said sections, 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 state's attorney or assistant state's attorney 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.
