§ 19-2-3. Taxation; civil process; concurrent jurisdiction

In no event shall any transfer of legislative jurisdiction between the United States

and this state take effect, nor shall the governor transmit any notice proposing such

a transfer under the applicable laws of the United States, unless: A. this state shall have jurisdiction to tax private persons, private transactions

and private property, real and personal, resident, occurring or situated within such

land or other area to the same extent that this state has jurisdiction to tax such

persons, transactions and property resident, occurring or situated generally within

this state; B. any civil or criminal process lawfully issued by competent authority of this state

or any of its subdivisions, may be served and executed within such land or other area

to the same extent and with the same effect as such process may be served and executed

generally within this state; provided only that the service and execution of such

process within land or other areas over which the federal government exercises jurisdiction

shall be subject to such rules and regulations issued by authorized officers of the

federal government, or of any department, independent establishment or agency thereof,

as may be reasonably necessary to prevent interference with the carrying out of federal

functions; and C. this state shall exercise over such land or other area the same legislative jurisdiction

which it exercises over land or other areas generally within this state, except that

the United States shall not be required to forego such measure of exclusive legislative

jurisdiction as may be vested in or retained by it over such land or other area pursuant

to this act, and without prejudice to the right of the United States to assert and

exercise such concurrent legislative jurisdiction as may be vested in or retained

by it over such land or other area.
