Introduced Text

Pennsylvania HB562 amends prior law to retain concurrent jurisdiction in juvenile cases over certain federal lands.

Pennsylvania HB562 amends the act of June 13, 1883, to retain concurrent jurisdiction in juvenile cases over certain federal lands acquired for post offices, custom houses, or other structures. The state retains jurisdiction over these lands, not exceeding ten acres, as long as they are used for their intended federal purposes. The amendment ensures that civil, juvenile, and criminal processes can be executed on these lands as if jurisdiction had not been ceded.
