South Carolina bill amends jurisdiction laws to allow concurrent state jurisdiction over military installations for juvenile federal law violations.

The bill amends South Carolina law to allow the state to exercise concurrent jurisdiction with the United States over military installations for violations of federal law by juveniles if the U.S. Attorney waives exclusive jurisdiction and the violation is also a crime under state law. The State Fiscal Accountability Authority can accept jurisdiction relinquishment from the U.S. and must notify the Secretary of State. The family court has exclusive original jurisdiction over cases involving juvenile delinquency on military installations.
