Bill > HB1033

This bill establishes a process for the state of North Dakota to accept concurrent legislative jurisdiction over United States military installations within the state's boundaries. Under this legislation, the governor can accept a request from a military installation's principal officer to share legislative jurisdiction with the federal government, but only after the request meets specific requirements, such as providing details about the installation's location, the requesting official's authority, and the purpose of the jurisdiction request. The bill stipulates that the governor's acceptance must document each element of the request and submit key documents to the secretary of state for record-keeping. Importantly, the state will not incur or assume liability from this jurisdictional arrangement, and after establishing concurrent jurisdiction, state agencies and political subdivisions may enter reciprocal agreements with federal agencies to define their respective duties. This type of legislation allows for more collaborative governance and clearer legal frameworks on military installations, ensuring that both state and federal authorities can effectively manage and oversee these properties.
