§ 570.52 Fugitives from this state; duty of governor.
Whenever the governor of this state shall demand a person charged with crime or with escaping from confinement or breaking the terms of his bail, probation or parole in this state from the executive authority of any other state, or from the chief justice or an associate justice of the supreme court of the District of Columbia authorized to receive such demand under the laws of the United States, he shall issue a warrant under the seal of this state to some agent commanding him to receive the person so charged, if delivered to him, and convey him to the proper officer of the county in this state in which the offense was committed.
When New York demands a person from another state or the District of Columbia for a New York crime, escape, or bail, probation, or parole violation, the governor must issue a sealed warrant to an agent directing the agent to receive the person and bring that person to the proper officer in the county where the offense occurred. ★
