§ 1.043 — Jurisdiction, When to Vest

Plain-Language Summary

The federal government does not get legal authority over land in Minnesota until it actually owns or has the right to use that land. If the federal government stops owning or using the land, or gives jurisdiction back to Minnesota, federal authority over that land ends.

1.043 JURISDICTION, WHEN TO VEST.

The jurisdiction granted or ceded to the United States over any place in the state under sections 1.041 or 1.042 shall not vest until the United States has acquired the title to or right of possession of the premises affected, and shall continue only while the United States owns or occupies them for the purposes to which the jurisdiction appertains as specified in those sections or until the United States relinquishes to the state full or partial jurisdiction under section 1.0431.

1943 c 343 s 3; 1977 c 125 s 1; 1984 c 628 art 1 s 1

Practical Notes

This prevents the federal government from claiming authority over land it does not yet own. It also means that when the federal government abandons a property in Minnesota, the state automatically regains full control over that land.
