I move amendment No. 34:

In page 71, between lines 6 and 7, to insert the following new subsection:

"(13) Where a document served pursuant to this section directs or requests the person to whom it is addressed to attend a hearing in a designated state, the document shall be served a reasonable time prior to the hearing in the designated state concerned and in any event at least 14 days prior to the hearing.".

I spoke on this matter earlier. The purpose of this amendment is to allow the defendant a reasonable time, following service, to arrange for travel to another state.
