Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) The
governor of this state may also surrender, on demand of the executive authority of any other
state, any person in this state charged in such other state in the manner provided in section 16-
19-104 with committing an act in this state, or in a third state, intentionally resulting in a crime
in the state whose executive authority is making the demand, and the provisions of this article 19
that are not otherwise inconsistent apply to such cases, even though the accused was not in that
state at the time of the commission of the crime and has not fled therefrom, provided the acts for
which extradition is sought would be punishable by the laws of this state if the acts occurred in
this state.
(2) Except as required by federal law, the governor shall not surrender a person charged
in another state as a result of the person engaging in a legally protected health-care activity, as
defined in section 12-30-121 (1)(d), unless the executive authority of the demanding state alleges
in writing that the accused was physically present in the demanding state at the time of the
commission of the alleged offense and that thereafter the accused fled from the demanding state.
