This section requires a State to transfer jurisdiction over a site to the United States before certain lighthouses and related structures are built. It explains how a reservation for serving legal process affects that transfer.
(a) A lighthouse, beacon, public pier, or landmark may not be built or erected on a site until the State transfers jurisdiction over the site to the United States.
(b) For subsection (a), the transfer is sufficient if it reserves the right to continue serving process issued under State authority at the site.
(c) If the transfer does not contain that reservation, all process may be served and carried out at the transferred site as if no transfer had occurred.
No lighthouse, beacon, public pier, or landmark, shall be built or erected on any site until cession of jurisdiction over the same has been made to the United States.
For the purposes of subsection (a), a cession by a State of jurisdiction over a place selected as the site of a lighthouse, or other structure or work referred to in subsection (a), shall be deemed sufficient if the cession contains a reservation that process issued under authority of such State may continue to be served within such place.
If no reservation of service described in subsection (b) is contained in a cession, all process may be served and executed within the place ceded, in the same manner as if no cession had been made.
