5 ILCS 555/ Crab Orchard Retrocession Act.

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.

Sec. 1.

The offer made by the Secretary of the United States
Department of the Interior pursuant to Public Law 90-339, 82 Stat. 177,
to retrocede such civil and criminal jurisdiction over private persons
and property as the United States now possesses within the area of
Jackson, Union and Williamson Counties known as Crab Orchard National
Wildlife Refuge is accepted.  However, this acceptance of the
retrocession of jurisdiction shall not affect or impair the right, title
and interest of the United States in and to the lands which may now or
hereafter be included within the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge,
nor its power and authority by legislative or authorized executive
action to make such rules and regulations as it shall deem needful or
convenient for the promotion and protection of the Federal uses and
purposes to which the areas comprising the refuge shall be devoted from
time to time.
