Modifies jurisdiction over certain Missouri land
HB 1137 transfers jurisdiction over specific Missouri lands to the U.S. federal government for designated purposes. It cedes control of land used by the U.S. as an "honor farm" near a federal penitentiary and grants concurrent jurisdiction (shared control) within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways area, both as long as the federal government owns and uses the land. The bill explicitly excludes the White River watershed and the Osage and St. Francois River watersheds from these jurisdictional changes. This is a procedural land jurisdiction bill affecting federal land management, not a policy change impacting general public or state services.
