Sec. 3243. Jurisdiction of State of Kansas over offenses
committed by or against Indians on Indian reservations
Jurisdiction is conferred on the State of Kansas over offenses
committed by or against Indians on Indian reservations, including trust
or restricted allotments, within the State of Kansas, to the same extent
as its courts have jurisdiction over offenses committed elsewhere within
the State in accordance with the laws of the State.
This section shall not deprive the courts of the United States of
jurisdiction over offenses defined by the laws of the United States
committed by or against Indians on Indian reservations.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 827.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on section 217a of title 25, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Indians (June
8, 1940, ch. 276, 54 Stat. 249).
The attention of Congress is directed to consideration of the
question whether this section should be broadened and made applicable to
all states rather than only to Kansas. Such change was not regarded as
within the scope of this revision.
Changes were made in phraseology.
