02:04 PM -- House Bill 06-1190

Representative Crane, prime sponsor, presented House Bill 06-1190 concerning strengthening extradition laws. The bill requires a court to hold a fugitive in custody for a minimum of 15 days and a maximum of 30 days after the court orders delivery of the fugitive to an agent of the demanding state, during which period an agent of a demanding state may complete transportation arrangements, travel to this state, and take custody of the fugitive. Requires a written prior waiver of extradition as a condition of release to bail, probation, parole, or a community corrections program. In the case of a criminal defendant who is in a foreign country, the bill requires the district attorney of the judicial district in which the offense was allegedly committed, who desires the international extradition of the defendant, to apply to the governor to request that the governor apply to the president of the United States to institute extradition proceedings for the return of the defendant to this country for the purpose of prosecution.

02:07 PM -- Mark Noel, Office of the Governor, spoke in support of the bill. Mr. Noel stated that there is currently no provision in statute governing a time period for extradition. He discussed the need for some standardization in an attempt to save time, money and effort. Mr. Noel responded to questions from the committee regarding the annual number of extradition requests received by the state.

02:14 PM -- Peg Ackerman, County Sheriffs of Colorado, spoke in support of the bill.
