This law says creating Morristown National Historical Park does not take away New Jersey's civil, criminal, or legislative power over that land, and does not change any resident's citizenship rights, unless New Jersey later agrees otherwise.

Nothing in this subchapter takes away New Jersey's, or any of its local governments', power to enforce civil and criminal law over the areas inside Morristown National Historical Park. Nothing in this subchapter changes the citizenship rights of anyone living there. Unless New Jersey later gives its consent, the state's lawmaking power over all the land inside the park stays exactly as it was — creating the park, and nothing else in this subchapter, does not reduce or affect it.

Nothing in this subchapter shall be held to deprive the State of New Jersey, or any political subdivision thereof, of its civil and criminal jurisdiction in and over the areas included in said national historical park, nor shall this subchapter in any way impair or affect the rights of citizenship of any resident therein; and save and except as the consent of the State of New Jersey may be hereafter given, the legislative authority of said State in and over all areas included within such national historical park shall not be diminished or affected by the creation of said park, nor by any terms and provisions of this subchapter.
