16 U.S.C. § 251l — Retrocession of lands to State; Quileute Indian Reservation jurisdiction; concurrent legislative jurisdiction with State

submitted 50 years ago by Pub. L. 94-578 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 115 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Washington State regains legal jurisdiction over land excluded from the park, once it accepts that jurisdiction back. Land restored to the Quileute Reservation follows the same state and tribal rules as the reservation's other trust land. The state also shares jurisdiction with the U.S. over land still inside the revised park.

Once the State of Washington accepts it, two things happen: (1) the jurisdiction the United States had gained over land excluded from Olympic National Park's boundaries by section 251e of this title goes back (is "retroceded") to the state — except that land restored to the Quileute Indian Reservation stays subject to the same state and tribal jurisdiction as the reservation's other trust land; and (2) the state also gets concurrent (shared) legislative jurisdiction over all the land within the park's boundary as revised by sections 251e to 251m of this title, in whatever way the Governor of Washington and the Secretary determine.
