States controls the property.

of the state agency, local government, or district, to enter into reciprocal agreements with a
United States agency to designate duties related to the concurrent jurisdiction between the

Proposed law provides that concurrent jurisdiction applies in those instances wherein in
granting to the United States authority which would otherwise amount to exclusive
jurisdiction over an area, the state has reserved to itself the right to exercise, concurrently
with the United States, all of the same authority.
Proposed law requires that nothing in proposed law be construed to create any affirmative
obligation on the part of a state agency, local government, or district or to require a state
agency, local government, or district to enter into any reciprocal agreement related to the
investigation or prosecution of any case, incident, or allegation.
