§ 5216. Migratory bird reservations; consent of State; jurisdiction
Consent of the State of Vermont is given to the acquisition by the United States by
purchase, gift, devise, or lease of such land or water, or of land and water in Vermont,
as the United States may deem necessary for the establishment of migratory bird reservations
in accordance with the act of Congress, approved February 18, 1929, entitled, “Act
to more effectively meet the obligations of the United States under the migratory
bird treaty with Great Britain by lessening the dangers threatening migratory game
birds from drainage and other causes by the acquisition of areas of land and of water
to furnish perpetuity reservations for the adequate protection of such birds; and
authorizing appropriations for the establishment of such areas, their maintenance
and improvement and for other purposes,” reserving, however, to the State of Vermont
full and complete jurisdiction and authority over all such areas not incompatible
with the administration, maintenance, protection, and control thereof by the United
States under the terms of the act of Congress. (Added 1961, No. 119, § 1, eff. May 9, 1961.)
