Bill Summary
An act relating to concurrent legislative jurisdiction over United States military installations; creating s. 250.0311, F.S.; accepting concurrent legislative jurisdiction with the United States over delinquency matters on United States military installations if such matters meet certain criteria; establishing circuit court jurisdiction over such matters; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a new Florida law, Section 250.0311, that allows the state to share legal authority, known as concurrent legislative jurisdiction, with the federal government over certain delinquency matters occurring on United States military installations within Florida. This shared jurisdiction will only apply if the military installation is located in Florida, the federal government (specifically the United States Attorney or District Court) agrees to give up its exclusive authority, and the alleged violation of federal law is also a crime under Florida law. If these conditions are met, Florida's circuit courts will have the primary responsibility for handling these cases involving children, following the procedures outlined in Chapter 985 of Florida Statutes, which deals with juvenile justice. This new law is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
