Vermont § 1802 - Conditions of rendition

§ 1802. 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 the prosecutor who has brought
  the criminal charge for the state to demonstrate that at least 60 days previously
  the obligee had initiated proceedings for support pursuant to this title or that the
  proceeding would be of no avail. (b) If, under this title or a law substantially similar to this title, 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. (Added 2015, No. 16, § 2, eff. June 1, 2015.)
