House Bill 535 revises the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act in Montana by updating definitions, terminology, and procedures related to extradition. Notable changes include replacing "demand" with "requisition" and clarifying the roles of the governor and executive authorities in the extradition process. The bill establishes a timeline for transferring individuals arrested under a governor's warrant to align with federal standards and sets conditions for bail and restitution related to transport costs after extradition. It also enhances the rights of individuals facing extradition by requiring judges to inform the accused of their rights upon arrest and detailing the process for waiving extradition proceedings.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a requirement for courts to release individuals with a prior waiver of extradition to agents from another state without needing a governor's warrant, contingent upon a hearing that confirms the individual's identity and probable cause. It allows individuals to contest their extradition through a writ of habeas corpus and specifies the procedures for holding requisitioned individuals in custody, including timelines for their release or further commitment. The bill also clarifies the approval process for transport costs and prohibits compensation for public officers involved in extradition, aiming to streamline and enhance the fairness of extradition proceedings.
