                  Act of Mar. 13, 1982, P.L. 183, No. 58              Cl. 29
                                  AN ACT

     Providing for cession by the Governor to the United States of
        jurisdiction over certain lands within Commonwealth
        boundaries.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

     Section 1.  General provisions.
        The Governor is hereby authorized to cede to the United
     States civil and criminal jurisdiction over a certain tract of
     land situate in Adams County of the Commonwealth of
     Pennsylvania, known as the Raven Rock Site subinstallation of
     Fort Ritchie, Maryland. Such jurisdiction shall remain in the
     United States for so long as the United States retains an
     interest in the Raven Rock Site and no longer.
     Section 2.  Retention of concurrent jurisdiction.
        Jurisdiction shall be ceded to the United States upon the
     express condition that the Commonwealth shall retain concurrent
     jurisdiction insofar that civil process in all cases, and such
     criminal process as may issue under the authority of the
     Commonwealth against anyone charged with crime committed outside
     said land, may be executed thereon in the same manner as if
     jurisdiction had not been ceded.
     Section 3.  Taxation power.
        Jurisdiction shall be ceded to the United States upon the
     further condition that the Commonwealth reserves to itself and
     its political subdivisions such power of taxation as it may
     constitutionally reserve, to levy and collect all taxes now or
     hereafter imposed by the Commonwealth and its political
     subdivisions upon property, persons and franchises within the
     boundaries so ceded.
     Section 4.  Effective date.
        This act shall take effect immediately.
