Concurrent Legislative Jurisdiction over United States Military Installations

Summary

The bill would permit Florida to exercise concurrent legislative jurisdiction with the United States for cases involving a child who allegedly violates a federal law on a military installation within the state, but only if the federal prosecutor or district court waives exclusive jurisdiction and the conduct is also a state crime. In those instances, the state circuit court would have original jurisdiction over the matter. The measure failed and was laid on the table.
