(1)A person arrested upon a warrant issued under § 9–107 of this title may not be delivered over to the agent whom the executive authority demanding the person has appointed to receive the person unless the person is first taken forthwith before a judge of a court of record in this State, who shall inform the person:
(i)of the demand made for surrender;
(ii)of the crime charged; and
(iii)of the right to demand and procure legal counsel.
(2)If the person arrested or the person’s counsel shall state a desire to test the legality of the arrest, the judge shall fix a reasonable time within which the person can apply for a writ of habeas corpus.
