that at least sixty (60) days previously the obligee had initiated
proceedings for support pursuant to this act or that the proceeding
would be of no avail.

act, the governor of another state makes a demand that the Governor
of this state surrender an individual charged criminally in that
state with having failed to provide for the support of a child or
other individual to whom a duty of support is owed, the Governor may
require a prosecutor to investigate the demand and report whether a
