§ 133.757 Investigation of demand and report

When another state's governor asks Oregon's governor to hand over someone accused of a crime, Oregon's governor doesn't have to make that decision alone. The governor can ask the Attorney General or a local prosecutor to look into the case first.

This person will check into the details of the situation. They find out things like whether the accused person is actually the right person, what the circumstances are, and whether it makes sense to send them back to the other state. They then report their findings to the governor.

In the end, the governor still makes the final call on whether to send the person back. But this rule lets the governor get help checking the facts before deciding.
