Governor can approve shared military base jurisdiction

The governor can accept a federal request to share legal authority on U.S.-owned military land in Kansas. Shared authority starts after three steps: a written offer from a federal base official that states the topic, gives a metes-and-bounds boundary, and says if nearby land may be added later; the governor’s written acceptance; and filing the documents with the secretary of state. The secretary of state publishes them in the Kansas Register, and the shared authority is effective on publication. After it starts, the governor sends a copy back to the federal official. State and local agencies may sign reciprocal agreements or memorandums of understanding with federal agencies to coordinate duties.

Who has authority on federal land in Kansas

Kansas cedes exclusive legal control to the United States on U.S.-owned land in the state. Kansas can still serve state court papers for cases that arise outside those federal lands. Kansas can also tax the property and corporate franchises of railroads, bridges, and other corporations inside those boundaries. This cession ends when the United States no longer owns the land. The law repeals K.S.A. 27-102 and takes effect when it is published in the Kansas Register.
