CHAPTER 209--EXTRADITION
Sec. 3182. Fugitives from State or Territory to State, District,
or Territory
Whenever the executive authority of any State or Territory demands
any person as a fugitive from justice, of the executive authority of any
State, District, or Territory to which such person has fled, and
produces a copy of an indictment found or an affidavit made before a
magistrate of any State or Territory, charging the person demanded with
having committed treason, felony, or other crime, certified as authentic
by the governor or chief magistrate of the State or Territory from
whence the person so charged has fled, the executive authority of the
State, District, or Territory to which such person has fled shall cause
him to be arrested and secured, and notify the executive authority
making such demand, or the agent of such authority appointed to receive
the fugitive, and shall cause the fugitive to be delivered to such agent
when he shall appear. If no such agent appears within thirty days from
the time of the arrest, the prisoner may be discharged.

Sec. 601(f)(9), Oct. 11, 1996, 110 Stat. 3500.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 662 (R.S. Sec. 5278).
Last sentence as to costs and expenses to be paid by the demanding
authority was incorporated in section 3195 of this title.
Word ``District'' was inserted twice to make section equally
applicable to fugitives found in the District of Columbia.
``Thirty days'' was substituted for ``six months'' since, in view of
modern conditions, the smaller time is ample for the demanding authority
to act.
Minor changes were made in phraseology.
Amendments
1996--Pub. L. 104-294 inserted comma after ``District'' in section
catchline and in two places in text.
Section Referred to in Other Sections
This section is referred to in sections 3194, 5001 of this title.
