Further, the State of Illinois accepts retrocession of
and authorizes acceptance of retrocession of concurrent
legislative jurisdiction over all those lands owned by the
United States that may subsequently be identified by the
Department of the Army as part of the U.S. Army Depot
Activity Savanna Military Reservation, Jo Davies County and
Carroll County, Illinois, although not included within the
legal description contained in this subsection, to the extent
concurrent jurisdiction has not previously been retroceded to
the State of Illinois. Any additional land over which the
State accepts retrocession of concurrent jurisdiction shall
be identified in a notice filed by the Governor as provided
in subsection (d).
(b) Pursuant to concurrent legislative jurisdiction, both
State and federal laws are applicable. Since most major
crimes violate both federal and State laws, both may punish
an offender for an offense committed in the area. The State
of Illinois, subject to the exemption of the federal
government, has the right to tax. The regulatory powers of
the State of Illinois may be exercised in the area, but not
in such a manner as to interfere with federal functions.
Persons residing on the area under concurrent legislative
jurisdiction are ensured important rights and privileges of
citizenship, such as the right to vote and access to the
Illinois courts.
(c) Subject to subsection (b), the State of Illinois
accepts cession of concurrent legislative jurisdiction from
the United States.
(d) The Governor of the State of Illinois is authorized
to accept the retrocession of concurrent legislative
jurisdiction over the subject lands by filing a notice of
acceptance with the Illinois Secretary of State.
(e) Upon transfer by deed of the subject lands, or any
portion thereof, by the United States of America, the
concurrent jurisdiction retained by the United States shall
expire as to the particular property transferred.
Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
becoming law.
Passed in the General Assembly May 08, 2001.
Approved July 24, 2001.
