The bill establishes a new section in Florida law, designated as 250.031, which outlines the process for the state to accept the relinquishment of exclusive legislative jurisdiction from the United States over military installations located within Florida. It provides that the state will have concurrent legislative jurisdiction with the United States over these military properties as long as the U.S. maintains control. The bill details the procedures for the Governor to accept such requests, including requirements for the request to specify the name and authority of the requester, the subject matter, and a description of the military installation involved.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Governor's acceptance of a request must include specific elements and mandates the submission of relevant documents to the appropriate recording office. It also allows for the execution of necessary documents to facilitate the cession of jurisdiction and permits state agencies or local governments to enter into reciprocal agreements with U.S. agencies regarding the duties associated with the concurrent legislative jurisdiction. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
