military bases; juvenile delinquency; jurisdiction

HB 2853 establishes a process for the U.S. government to gain concurrent juvenile delinquency jurisdiction over specific military lands in Arizona, directly affecting seven military installations including Fort Huachuca, Yuma Proving Ground, and Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The bill requires the U.S. to submit a formal written request with legal descriptions to Arizona's governor, who must approve and file the documents with county recorders before jurisdiction transfers. Arizona retains the right to withdraw this jurisdiction three years after notifying the U.S. Department of Defense. The jurisdiction applies only to lands owned or controlled by the U.S. within these military areas, not to other properties.
