The State of Florida will honor the extradition laws of all other states. The state will issue an extradition warrant, the fugitive will be arrested and delivered to the state where he/she is sought.

Florida, like any other state, works with all other states in the U.S. to return criminals to the jurisdiction where their cases are being heard. Florida communicates with law enforcement in the corresponding state to assure that the matter is in order concerning the individual to be extradited, then arrangements are made between the two states to return the party.

Extradition laws are fairly complicated. You can read Florida Statute Section 941.03-10, which define extradition, set rules for extraditing from another state or to another. Best to consult an attorney.

Florida has a liberal extradition law. Unlike some states that won't extradite for whatever reason Florida has none of those. If you commit a crime somewhere else it is almost a foregone conclusion that the extradition papers will be honored and you will on your way back as soon as they are able to arrange it.
