16 U.S.C. § 163Jurisdiction by the United States; fugitives from justice

submitted 112 years ago by ch. 264 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 140 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The United States has sole legal control over the land inside Glacier National Park. Montana can still serve legal papers there and tax people and property in the park. Anyone hiding from the law in the park is treated the same as in Montana.

The United States takes sole and exclusive jurisdiction over the land inside Glacier National Park. Montana keeps two rights, though. First, the state may still serve civil or criminal legal papers inside the park, for lawsuits or charges based on rights, duties, or crimes that came from Montana but happened outside the park. Second, Montana may still tax people and companies — and their businesses and property — located on land inside the park. All laws that apply to places under the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States apply inside the park. Anyone who flees to the park to escape justice is treated under the same laws as someone who flees to hide within Montana itself.

Sole and exclusive jurisdiction is assumed by the United States over the territory embraced within the Glacier National Park, saving, however, to the State of Montana the right to serve civil or criminal process within the limits of the aforesaid park in suits or prosecution for or on account of rights acquired, obligations incurred, or crimes committed in said State but outside of said park, and saving, further, to the said State the right to tax persons and corporations, their franchises and property, on the lands included in said park. All the laws applicable to places under the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States shall have force and effect in said park. All fugitives from justice taking refuge in said park shall be subject to the same laws as refugees from justice found in the State of Montana.
