HRS §832-6

When a person can be sent back for a crime committed from afar

This section lets the governor send someone to another state if that person is accused of causing a crime there, even if they were never in that state. The regular extradition rules still apply. It covers acts done in Hawaii or elsewhere that led to a crime in the demanding state.
