<br><br>3.260 Application by United States for concurrent legislative jurisdiction -- <br>Procedure. <br>(1) Whenever the United States shall desire to acquire concurrent legislative <br>jurisdiction for purposes of criminal law enforcement over any lands within this <br>Commonwealth which the United States has or shall have acquired for purposes of <br>the establishment or extension of a unit of the National Park System of the United <br>States Department of the Interior and shall make application for that purpose, <br>Kentucky cedes such measure of legislative jurisdiction, not exceeding that <br>requested by the United States, as may be necessary to enable the United States and <br>the Commonwealth of Kentucky to exercise concurrent legislative jurisdiction for <br>purposes of criminal law enforcement over such lands. The Governor is directed to <br>negotiate with the United States, on behalf of the General Assembly, the <br>administrative details of any such cession, which details shall be included in the <br>instrument of cession. <br>(2) Said application on behalf of the United States shall be accompanied by an accurate <br>description of the lands over which such concurrent legislative jurisdiction for <br>purposes of criminal law enforcement is desired. <br>(3) Said cession of legislative jurisdiction shall become effective when the instrument <br>of cession is signed by the Governor and the acceptance of jurisdiction by the <br>United States is indicated in writing upon the instrument of cession by the United <br>States Secretary of the Interior or his designee and entered upon the executive <br>journal. In the event the Governor is of the opinion that the cession of legislative <br>jurisdiction embodied in any proposed instrument of cession exceeds the measure of <br>legislative jurisdiction necessary to enable the United States and the <br>Commonwealth of Kentucky to exercise concurrent legislative jurisdiction for <br>purposes of criminal law enforcement over the lands in question, he shall not sign <br>the instrument of cession, and the cession shall not become effective until the <br>General Assembly, at its next session, shall approve same. <br>Effective: June 17, 1978 <br>History: Created 1978 Ky.
