     § 9146.  Written waiver of extradition proceedings.
        (a)  General rule.--Any person arrested in this Commonwealth
     charged with having committed any crime in another state or
     alleged to have escaped from confinement or broken the terms of
     his bail, probation or parole may waive the issuance and service
     of the warrant provided for in section 9128 (relating to issue
     by Governor of warrant of arrest) and section 9129 (relating to
     manner and place of execution) and all other procedure
     incidental to extradition proceedings by executing or
     subscribing in the presence of a judge of any court of record
     within this Commonwealth a writing which states that he consents
     to return to the demanding state. Before such waiver shall be
     executed or subscribed by such person it shall be the duty of
     such judge to inform such person of his rights to the issuance
     and service of a warrant of extradition and to obtain a writ of
     habeas corpus, as provided in section 9131 (relating to rights
     of accused person).
        (b)  Action following waiver.--If and when such consent has
     been duly executed it shall forthwith be forwarded to the office
     of the Governor of this Commonwealth and filed therein. The
     judge shall direct the officer having such person in custody to
     deliver forthwith such person to the duly accredited agent or
     agents of the demanding state, and shall deliver or cause to be
     delivered to such agent or agents a copy of such consent.
        (c)  Effect of section.--Nothing in this section shall be
     deemed to limit the rights of the accused person to return
     voluntarily and without formality to the demanding state, nor
     shall this waiver procedure be deemed to be an exclusive
     procedure or to limit the powers, rights or duties of the
     officers of the demanding state or of this Commonwealth.
