The bill establishes concurrent jurisdiction for the state of Alabama over criminal offenses committed by children on military installations, allowing the state to prosecute violations of federal law that also constitute a crime under state law. This concurrent jurisdiction can only be exercised if the United States Attorney or the United States District Court waives exclusive jurisdiction. The bill specifies that once concurrent jurisdiction is established, the juvenile court will have exclusive original jurisdiction over cases involving children alleged to be delinquent due to acts committed on military installations.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that it will take effect on October 1, 2024. The legal language inserted into the current law includes the establishment of concurrent jurisdiction and the definition of the juvenile court's exclusive original jurisdiction, while no deletions from current law are specified in the text provided.
