 Amend Title To Conform

Be it enacted by the General 
Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Section 3-1-150 of the S.C. Code is amended to read:

 Section 
3-1-150. (A)(1) Whenever 
a duly authorized official or agent of the United States, acting pursuant to 
authority conferred by the Congress, notifies the State Fiscal Accountability 
Authority or any other State official, department or agency, that the United 
States desires or is willing to relinquish to the State the jurisdiction, or a 
portion thereof, held by the United States over the lands designated in such 
notice, the State Fiscal Accountability Authority may, in its discretion, 
accept such relinquishment. Such acceptance may be made by sending a notice of 
acceptance to the official or agent designated by the United States to receive 
such notice of acceptance. The State Fiscal Accountability Authority shall send 
a signed copy of the notice of acceptance, together with the notice of 
relinquishment received from the United States, to the Secretary of State, who 
shall maintain a permanent file of the notices.

 (2) Upon the sending of the 
notice of acceptance to the designated official or agent of the United States, 
the State shall immediately have such jurisdiction over the lands designated in 
the notice of relinquishment as the notice shall specify.

 (3) The provisions of this section subsection shall 
apply to the relinquishment of jurisdiction acquired by the United States under 
the provisions of Sections 3-1-110 and 3-1-120.

 (B)(1) 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, the State shall exercise 
concurrent jurisdiction with the United States over any military installation 
of the United States Department of Defense located or established within the 
State in the matter relating to a violation of federal law by a juvenile within 
the boundaries of that military installation if:

 (a) the United States Attorney, or the 
United States District Court, for the applicable district in South Carolina, 
waives exclusive jurisdiction; and

 (b) the violation of federal law is also 
a crime or infraction under state law.

 (2) The provisions of this subsection 
shall apply to the relinquishment of jurisdiction acquired by the United States 
under the provisions of Sections 3-1-110, 3-1-120, and the specific grants the 
United States outlined in Chapter 3 of this title.

 (C) Upon the establishment of concurrent 
jurisdiction, any state or local agency may enter into a reciprocal agreement 
with any agency of the United States for coordination and designation of 
responsibilities related to the concurrent jurisdiction.

SECTION 2. Section 63-3-510 of the S.C. Code is amended by adding:

 (5) When concurrent jurisdiction has 
been established pursuant to Section 3-1-150(B), the court has exclusive 
original jurisdiction over any case involving a juvenile who is alleged to be 
delinquent as the result of an act committed within the boundaries of a 
military installation that is a crime or infraction under state law, except as 
provided in Section 63-19-1210 as it relates to waiver procedures to the 
circuit court.

SECTION 3. This act takes effect upon approval 
by the Governor.
