(725 ILCS 225/26) (from Ch. 60, par. 43)
Sec. 26.
Written waiver of extradition proceedings.
Any person arrested in this State charged with having committed any
crime in another state or alleged to have escaped from confinement, or
broken the terms of his bail, probation or parole may waive the issuance
and service of the warrant provided for in Sections 7 and 8 and all
other procedure incidental to extradition proceedings, by executing or
subscribing in the presence of a judge of the circuit court a writing
which states that he consents to return to the demanding state;
provided, however, that before such waiver shall be executed or
subscribed by such person it shall be the duty of such judge to inform
such person of his rights to the issuance and service of a warrant of
extradition and to obtain a relief by habeas corpus as provided for in
Section 10.
If and when such consent has been duly executed it shall forthwith be
forwarded to the office of the Governor of this State and filed therein.
The judge shall direct the officer having such person in custody to
deliver forthwith such person to the duly accredited agent or agents of
the demanding state, and shall deliver or cause to be delivered to such
agent or agents a copy of such consent; provided, however, that nothing
in this Section shall be deemed to limit the rights of the accused
person to return voluntarily and without formality to the demanding
state, nor shall this waiver procedure be deemed to be an exclusive
procedure or to limit the powers, rights or duties of the officers of
the demanding state or of this State.
