                 TITLE 18--CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
 
                       PART II--CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
 
                   CHAPTER 211--JURISDICTION AND VENUE
 
Sec. 3243. Jurisdiction of State of Kansas over offenses 
        committed by or against Indians on Indian reservations
        
    Jurisdiction is conferred on the State of Kansas over offenses 
committed by or against Indians on Indian reservations, including trust 
or restricted allotments, within the State of Kansas, to the same extent 
as its courts have jurisdiction over offenses committed elsewhere within 
the State in accordance with the laws of the State.
    This section shall not deprive the courts of the United States of 
jurisdiction over offenses defined by the laws of the United States 
committed by or against Indians on Indian reservations.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 827.)


                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on section 217a of title 25, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Indians (June 
8, 1940, ch. 276, 54 Stat. 249).
    The attention of Congress is directed to consideration of the 
question whether this section should be broadened and made applicable to 
all states rather than only to Kansas. Such change was not regarded as 
within the scope of this revision.
    Changes were made in phraseology.
