As Filed


DIGEST 

Currently, papers regarding the requisition for the return of a person
charged with a crime are filed with the Secretary of State's Office.
However, the Governor's Office handles this process and maintains these
records.  This legislation requires those papers to be filed with the
Governor's Office, rather than the Secretary of State's Office, in an
effort to change the statute to comply with standard practice.  

PURPOSE

As proposed, S.B. 1332 establishes the requisition for the return of a
person charged with crime in this state. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, institution, or agency.
