An act relating to extradition procedures

This bill amends Vermont's extradition laws to streamline the process for returning individuals accused of crimes committed in other states. It extends the maximum time a person can be held in custody while awaiting extradition from 30 to 90 days (Section 1), allows up to 60 additional days if needed (Section 2), and creates a formal process for individuals to waive court hearings by signing a written consent to return to the demanding state (Section 3). This directly affects people arrested in Vermont for out-of-state crimes and Vermont judges, sheriffs, and the Governor handling extradition requests. The changes aim to reduce delays while ensuring accused individuals' rights to challenge proceedings remain intact.
