(1)Whenever the United States Congress enacts a law authorizing the United States to
take over the Perryville battlefield, now in the hands of the Division of Parks, the
Governor shall appoint a commissioner who shall make and execute on behalf of
Kentucky, a deed conveying fee simple title to the United States for national
cemetery or park purposes, in conformity with the provisions of the Act of Congress
when enacted, seventeen and three-fourths (17.75) acres of land, more or less, in
Boyle County, Kentucky, now owned and held by the Commonwealth of Kentucky,
together with all improvements thereon and appurtenances thereunto belonging. The
conveyance shall be made free of any cost or charge to the United States for the
property conveyed. The commissioner may ascertain by survey or otherwise the
metes and bounds of the land conveyed and include in the deed an appropriate
description of the land. The deed shall contain a clause to the effect that, when the
United States shall cease to use or maintain the land conveyed as a national
cemetery or park, upon demand of the Governor of Kentucky, it shall revert to
Kentucky, and complete jurisdiction over it shall be again vested in Kentucky. The
deed shall be in a form agreeable to the provisions of the Act of Congress, when
enacted.
(2)When the conveyance to the United States is made, the jurisdiction of Kentucky
shall thereby be ceded to and vested in the United States over the land conveyed.
The jurisdiction hereby ceded shall continue no longer than the United States of
America shall own the land.
