34. That's for misdemeanors.

Florida does, indeed, extradite on felony warrants.



Can You Be Extradited Out Of Florida?


Yes, Florida extradites fugitives to and from other states on a felony warrant. Most of the time, this procedure takes about 30 days, but the court can grant an additional 60-day extension during an extradition hearing.

Florida follows the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act (UCEA) and is not a non-extradition state. All the states in the United States will extradite a fugitive from one state to another under the right circumstances. Not all states have adopted the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act; states that have not adopted it have their own extradition laws that comply with the federal law. Only South Carolina and Missouri have not formally adopted the UCEA.

When a person is arrested on an out-of-state warrant, the person has three options from which to choose:

*Consent to Extradition
*Request an Extradition Bond
*Request an Extradition Hearing


DeSantis is pretty much bound by the terms of the UCEA, though I suppose he could try to interfere in the process. I think if it came to that, though, he could/would hide behind the language of the UCEA as a handy way to get rid of his main opponent in the election.
