Concurrent Juvenile Jurisdiction Final Legislation
The purpose of these jurisdictional changes is to acquire a uniform concunent jurisdiction in all contiguous properties at the three locations, Hill Air Force Base, Utah Test and Training Range, and Little Mountain Test Facility, to maximize the flexibility of carrying out all law enforcement activities as the applicable Federal and State entities may agree. This request has been coordinated with, and concurred by, the applicable law enforcement agencies for Box Elder, Davis, Tooele, and Weber Counties, and the United States Attorney for the District of Utah. A letter to the Criminal Division of the United States Department of Justice will be sent once written acknowledgement and acceptance has been issued by the Utah Governor's Office.
By acceptance of this letter, the State of Utah hereby acknowledges the Federal Governance's acceptance of Utah's cessation of proprietary jurisdiction in these three sites to the Federal Government and accepts retrocession of exclusive jurisdiction from the United States of America over all areas of these sites.
