DIGEST
SB 271 Original 2024 Regular Session Foil
Proposed law provides that the state accepts the relinquishment of exclusive legislative jurisdiction
from the United States and that the state has concurrent legislative jurisdiction with the United States
over the United States military installation property in the state for as long as the United States
controls the property.
Proposed law provides that this concurrent legislative jurisdiction be effective upon the governor's
written acceptance of a request filed by the principal officer, or an authorized representative of the
United States who has supervision or control over the property pursuant to federal law, of the
property where concurrent legislative jurisdiction is sought, relinquishing exclusive legislative
jurisdiction and retaining concurrent legislative jurisdiction over the property.
Proposed law authorizes the governor to execute appropriate documents to accomplish the cession
granted by proposed law.
Proposed law provides that the state not incur or assume any liability as a result of accepting
concurrent legislative jurisdiction pursuant to proposed law.
Proposed law authorizes state agencies, local governments, or districts to enter into reciprocal
agreements with a United States agency to designate duties related to the concurrent legislative
jurisdiction between the parties.
Proposed law provides that concurrent legislative jurisdiction applies in those instances wherein in
granting to the United States authority which would otherwise amount to exclusive legislative
jurisdiction over an area, the state has reserved to itself the right to exercise, concurrently with the
United States, all of the same authority.
Effective August 1, 2024.
