§ 22-2719 Persons under criminal prosecution in this state at time of requisition.

If someone is facing criminal charges in Kansas, and another state also wants that person sent to them to face charges there, the Kansas governor gets to decide what happens. The governor can either hand the person over to the other state right away, or keep the person in Kansas until the local case is finished.

This means Kansas doesn't have to drop its own charges just because another state is asking for the person. The governor can wait until the Kansas case ends, whether that means the person is found not guilty and released, or found guilty and serves their sentence, before letting the other state take over. The choice is completely up to the governor's judgment, based on what makes the most sense for the situation.

In simple terms, Kansas gets first priority if it already has an active case against someone, but the governor still has the final say on whether to keep that person here or send them to the other state right away.
