NRS130.802. Conditions of rendition.

      1.  Before making a demand that the governor of another state surrender a natural person charged criminally in this State with having failed to provide for the support of an obligee, the Governor of this State may require a prosecutor of this State to demonstrate that at least 60 days previously the obligee had initiated proceedings for support pursuant to this chapter or that the proceeding would be of no avail.

      2.  If, under the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act or a law substantially similar to that Act, the governor of another state makes a demand that the Governor of this State surrender a natural person charged criminally in that state with having failed to provide for the support of a child or other natural person to whom a duty of support is owed, the Governor may require a prosecutor 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.

      3.  If a proceeding for support has been initiated and the natural person whose rendition is demanded prevails, the Governor may decline to honor the demand. If the petitioner prevails and the natural person whose rendition is demanded is subject to a support order, the Governor may decline to honor the demand if the person is complying with the support order.
