(a) Before making a demand that the
governor of another state surrender an individual charged criminally in
Indiana with having failed to provide for the support of an obligee, the
governor of Indiana may require a prosecutor of Indiana to demonstrate
that at least sixty (60) days previously the obligee had initiated
proceedings for support under this article or that the proceeding would
be of no avail.
(b) If, under this article or a law substantially similar to this article,
the governor of another state makes a demand that the governor of
Indiana 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
prosecuting 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.
