The proposed bill creates a new section, 54-01-09.4, in the North Dakota Century Code, establishing concurrent federal jurisdiction over military installations within the state. The state will accept the relinquishment of exclusive legislative jurisdiction from the United States, allowing for shared legislative authority over these military sites. The process for this acceptance requires a written request from the principal officer or authorized representative of the military installation, which must include specific details such as the name and authority of the requester, the subject matter of the request, and a description of the installation's boundaries. The governor's acceptance of such requests must also be documented and submitted to the secretary of state.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the state will not incur liability as a result of accepting concurrent legislative jurisdiction. Once established, state agencies or political subdivisions are permitted to enter into reciprocal agreements with U.S. agencies to delineate responsibilities related to the concurrent jurisdiction. This legislative change aims to clarify the governance of military installations and facilitate cooperation between state and federal authorities.
