confinement, or broken the terms of his bail, probation or parole
may waive the issuance and service the warrant provided for in
Section 7 and 8 and all other procedure incidental to extradition
proceedings, by executing or subscribing in the presence of a judge
of any court of record within this state 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

be forwarded to the office of the Governor of this state and filed

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;

powers, rights or duties of the officers of the demanding state or
of this state.
