Revise the uniform criminal extradition act
This bill updates Montana's extradition laws to align with federal timelines and clarify procedures for returning individuals to other states on criminal warrants. It directly affects law enforcement, courts, and individuals subject to extradition requests by establishing specific rules for holding, transferring, and releasing people. Key changes include setting transfer timelines based on federal standards, requiring people returned to Montana to pay transport costs, and updating definitions for terms like "governor's warrant" and "requisition." The bill also clarifies when Montana can try a person locally versus extraditing them, and outlines conditions for bail and habeas corpus challenges during extradition proceedings.
