THEODORE E. MCKELDIN, GOVERNOR 973

4. Extent of Duties of Support. The duty of support
imposed by the laws of this State or by the laws of the
state where the obligee was present when the failure to
support commenced as provided in Section 7 and the reme-
dies provided for enforcement thereof, including any pen-
alty imposed thereby, bind the obligor regardless of the
presence or residence of the obligee.

Criminal Enforcement

5. Interstate Rendition. The Governor of this State
(1) may demand from the Governor of any other state the
surrender of any person found in such other state who is
charged in this State with the crime of failing to provide
for the support of any person in this State and (2) may
surrender on demand by the Governor of any other state
any person found in this State who is charged in such
other state with the crime of failing to provide for the
support of a person in such other state. The provisions
for extradition of criminals not inconsistent herewith shall
apply to any such demand although the person whose sur-
render is demanded was not in the demanding state at the
time of the commission of the crime and although he had
not fled therefrom. Neither the demand, the oath nor any
proceedings for extradition pursuant to this section need
state or show that the person whose surrender is de-
manded has fled from justice, or at the time of the com-
mission of the crime was in the demanding or the other
state.

6. Relief from Criminal Enforcement. Any obligor
contemplated by Section 5, who submits to the jurisdiction
of the court of such other state and complies with the
court's order of support, shall be relieved of extradition
for desertion or non-support entered in the courts of this
State during the period of such compliance.

Civil Enforcement

7. What Duties Are Enforceable. Duties of support
enforceable under this Article are those imposed or impos-

able under the laws of any state where the alleged

obliger was present during the period for which support
is sought or where the obligee was present when the failure
to support commenced, at the election of the obligee.
DUTIES OF SUPPORT ENFORCEABLE UNDER THIS
ARTICLE ARE THOSE IMPOSED OR IMPOSABLE
UNDER THE LAWS OF MARYLAND UPON THE
ALLEGED OBLIGEE DURING THE PERIOD FOR
WHICH SUPPORT IS SOUGHT.
