Relating to: jurisdiction over juveniles on federal enclaves. (FE)

SB 253 clarifies that the state retains concurrent jurisdiction over juveniles aged 10 or older for delinquency or protection cases, even when offenses occur on federal lands within the state. The bill requires the governor to accept federal offers to transfer jurisdiction over such juveniles back to the state. Key provisions include creating new statutes (1.03(4) and 1.031(2)) to formalize this state jurisdiction and mandate documentation of any transferred cases. This directly affects juveniles aged 10+ who commit offenses on federal enclaves, ensuring state courts maintain authority unless federal authorities proactively transfer jurisdiction.
