AZ HB2649

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes Section 37-620 to add the Yuma proving ground to lands where concurrent criminal jurisdiction is vested in the United States.

Concurrent criminal jurisdiction becomes effective only after a memorandum of understanding is completed between the United States Department of Defense and the sheriff of a county with territory within the Yuma proving ground to address lead investigative agency responsibilities and crime coordination.

Maintains existing concurrent jurisdiction provisions for other federally administered lands including national parks, monuments, recreation areas, dams, and the Barry M. Goldwater range.

Allows Arizona to withdraw jurisdiction over any land or area three years after written notification by the governor to the United States Secretary of the Interior.

Approved by the Governor on March 24, 2022.
