16 U.S.C. § 404c–1 — Acceptance of cession by United States; jurisdiction
submitted 84 years ago by ch. 341 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 77 words · no verdicts yet
Kentucky passed a 1930 law giving the United States full legal authority over land bought for Mammoth Cave National Park. This section accepts that transfer. The United States now holds sole and exclusive jurisdiction over that land, subject to the limits Kentucky kept in its own law.
The provisions of the act of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, approved March 22, 1930 (Acts of 1930, ch. 132, p. 405), ceding to the United States exclusive jurisdiction over, within, and under such territory in the Commonwealth as may be acquired for the Mammoth Cave National Park, are accepted. Subject to the reservations made by the Commonwealth in the act of cession, the United States assumes sole and exclusive jurisdiction over such territory.
