This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 37-620.04, which establishes concurrent juvenile delinquency jurisdiction over certain lands owned or controlled by the United States. Specifically, the bill outlines that this jurisdiction will be vested in the United States upon the submission of a formal request to the governor, along with a legal description and plat of the area. The governor's approval will then be recorded with the county recorder, and the state retains the right to withdraw jurisdiction after notifying the U.S. Secretary of Defense.

The bill identifies specific military installations and areas under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Defense, including Fort Huachuca Army Base, Yuma Proving Ground, Camp Navajo Army Base, Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Luke Air Force Base, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, and Barry M. Goldwater Range. The concurrent jurisdiction will remain in effect as long as the U.S. maintains ownership or control of these lands, and it clarifies that jurisdiction does not change for lands not owned or controlled by the United States.
