§ 1141.19 Demand for person against whom prosecution pending.

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

This means Oklahoma's case does not automatically stop just because another state is asking for the person. The Governor has the final say. If the Governor decides to keep the person here, the case moves forward until there is a trial, and either the person is found not guilty and released, or convicted and sentenced. Only after that would the person be handed over to the other state, if the Governor still allows it at that point.
