Summary
This bill requires military departments to seek to relinquish jurisdiction over criminal offenses committed by juveniles on military installations to states and other appropriate jurisdictions. It also permits the federal government to consider prosecutions of felonies by juveniles committed on military installations where the federal government has concurrent jurisdiction with states and other governmental entities and the state prosecutor declines to bring charges.
