Creating Cumberland Island National Seashore does not take away Georgia's or its local governments' authority to enforce their own criminal and civil laws inside the Seashore, or their right to tax non-federal property and people there.

Nothing in this group of sections takes away the State of Georgia's, or any of its local governments', power to enforce its own civil or criminal laws over people, actions, and offenses inside the Seashore's boundaries. It also does not take away their right to tax people, corporations, franchises, or other property inside the Seashore that isn't owned by the federal government.
