demanding state without the requirement of a demand by the executive authority of the
demanding state, and without the requirement of a governor's warrant issued by the governor of
the state of Colorado, if such person has signed a prior waiver of extradition as a condition of
such person's current probation, parole, bail, or other conditional release in the demanding state.
