(3)
Whenever the United States shall desire to acquire concurrent legislative
jurisdiction for purposes of criminal law enforcement over any lands within this
Commonwealth which the United States has or shall have acquired for
purposes of the establishment or extension of a unit of the National Park
System of the United States Department of the Interior and shall make
application for that purpose, Kentucky cedes such measure of legislative
jurisdiction, not exceeding that requested by the United States, as may be
necessary to enable the United States and the Commonwealth of Kentucky to
exercise concurrent legislative jurisdiction for purposes of criminal law
enforcement over such lands. The Governor is directed to negotiate with the
United States, on behalf of the General Assembly, the administrative details of
any such cession, which details shall be included in the instrument of cession.
Said application on behalf of the United States shall be accompanied by an
accurate description of the lands over which such concurrent legislative
jurisdiction for purposes of criminal law enforcement is desired.
Said cession of legislative jurisdiction shall become effective when the
instrument of cession is signed by the Governor and the acceptance of
jurisdiction by the United States is indicated in writing upon the instrument of
cession by the United States Secretary of the Interior or his designee and
entered upon the executive journal. In the event the Governor is of the opinion
that the cession of legislative jurisdiction embodied in any proposed instrument
of cession exceeds the measure of legislative jurisdiction necessary to enable
the United States and the Commonwealth of Kentucky to exercise concurrent
legislative jurisdiction for purposes of criminal law enforcement over the lands
in question, he shall not sign the instrument of cession, and the cession shall
not become effective until the General Assembly, at its next session, shall
approve same.
