16 U.S.C. § 410a — Acceptance of title to lands

This section lets the Secretary of the Interior accept land, on behalf of the United States, for a national park. The land must be land described in section 410 of this title. The Secretary has discretion here: the Secretary decides whether the "evidence of title" — the proof that someone actually owns the land — is good enough to accept. There is one condition, though. No land for this park may be accepted until the State of Florida has given the United States exclusive jurisdiction over the entire park area, in a form the Secretary is satisfied with. In other words, Florida must hand over full legal authority over the whole park before the land transfer can happen.
