2015 Connecticut General Statutes
Title 46b - Family Law
Chapter 816 - Support
Section 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.
