16 U.S.C. § 460hh–5Concurrent legislative jurisdiction with State of Oklahoma; requisites; notice in Federal Register

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Normally the United States holds exclusive legal jurisdiction over the former Platt National Park land. If Oklahoma officials notify the Secretary in writing that the state accepts shared jurisdiction, the Secretary must publish that in the Federal Register, and shared jurisdiction then takes effect. This cannot happen, though, until Oklahoma and the Secretary also sign a written agreement covering shared jurisdiction over the rest of the recreation area.

Normally, section 153 of this title keeps exclusive legal jurisdiction over this land with the United States. But once appropriate Oklahoma state officials notify the Secretary in writing that the state accepts concurrent legislative jurisdiction over the land formerly within Platt National Park, the Secretary must publish a notice of that acceptance in the Federal Register. Once published, concurrent legislative jurisdiction over that land shifts to the State of Oklahoma. However, this shift cannot happen until Oklahoma and the Secretary have also reached a written agreement covering the exercise of concurrent jurisdiction over all the other land and water within the Chickasaw National Recreation Area.
