Sec. 742m. Relinquishment of exclusive legislative jurisdiction

    Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of the 
Interior, acting through the Director of the United States Fish and 
Wildlife Service, may relinquish to a State, or to a Commonwealth, 
territory, or possession of the United States, the exclusive legislative 
jurisdiction of the United States over all or part of any United States 
Fish and Wildlife Service lands or interests therein, including but not 
limited to National Wildlife Refuge System and National Fish Hatchery 
System lands, in that State, Commonwealth, territory, or possession. 
Relinquishment of exclusive legislative jurisdiction under this 
subsection may be accomplished (1) by filing with the Governor (or, if 
none, the chief executive officer) of the State, Commonwealth, 
territory, or possession concerned, a notice of relinquishment to take 
effect upon acceptance thereof, or (2) as the laws of the State, 
Commonwealth, territory, or possession may otherwise provide.
