(a) Before making a demand that the governor of another state

to provide for the support of an obligee, the governor of this state may
COL1242015
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.
