Modifies jurisdiction over certain Missouri land
HB 3081 transfers jurisdiction over specific Missouri lands to the United States for federal use. It cedes land currently or potentially used as an "honor farm" for a federal penitentiary and grants shared control within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways area. The bill explicitly excludes the White River, Osage River, and St. Francois River watersheds from these jurisdictional changes. This bill, introduced in January 2026, directly affects federal facilities and national park administration areas while maintaining state jurisdiction over designated watersheds.
