Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(5 ILCS 595/10) (from Ch. 1, par. 7110)

Sec. 10.

Cession of jurisdiction to the United States.

(a) The United States owns or controls certain lands under the
jurisdiction of the Department of the Navy used as the United States Naval
Training Base at Great Lakes in Lake County, Illinois, and concurrent
legislative jurisdiction over those lands has not been ceded to the United
States by the State of Illinois.  The ceding of concurrent legislative
jurisdiction to the United States will facilitate the orderly
administration of law and justice by the State and by the United States in
the Great Lakes Base area.

(b) The State of Illinois cedes to the United States concurrent
legislative jurisdiction over all the lands and parcels of land owned or
controlled or that may from time to time later be owned or controlled by
the United States under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Navy and
used as the United States Naval Training Base at Great Lakes, Lake County,
Illinois.

(c) Cession shall take effect only upon the filing of an acceptance by
the United States.  Federal jurisdiction shall end whenever the United
States shall cease to own, lease, or use for national purposes the lands or
improvements on those lands.

(d) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to deprive the State of
Illinois of any of its jurisdiction over the described lands, and that
jurisdiction shall be concurrent with that of the United States.
