1.
By state military forces.
A component of the state military forces may, upon the order of the officer in immediate command, continue in fresh pursuit of insurrectionists, saboteurs or enemy forces into another state until those persons are apprehended or until the military or police forces of the other state or forces of the United States have had a reasonable opportunity to apprehend those persons, provided that the other state has given authority by law for that pursuit by forces of this State. Any person who is apprehended in another state by any element of the state military forces shall be surrendered without unnecessary delay to the military or police forces of that state or of the United States. That surrender shall not constitute a waiver by this State of its right to extradite or prosecute the person for a crime committed in this State.
2.
By forces of other states.
A component of the military forces of another state, which is in fresh pursuit of insurrectionists, saboteurs or enemy forces, may continue the pursuit into this State until the military or police forces of this State or the forces of the United States have had reasonable opportunity to apprehend these persons. The state military forces of the other state are authorized to detain persons apprehended while in fresh pursuit in this State. Any person who is detained in this State by military forces of the other state shall be surrendered without unnecessary delay to the military or police forces of this State to be dealt with according to law. This subsection shall not be construed to make unlawful any arrest in this State which would otherwise be lawful.
