Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Governor, whenever he deems it desirable and in the public interest, may accept on behalf of the State the retrocession of all or part of jurisdiction in and over lands heretofore or hereafter acquired by or ceded to the Federal Government.
The transfer of such jurisdiction shall be effective upon the written acceptance by the Governor of a notice of retrocession signed by the secretary or head of the appropriate department of the Federal Government, having authority to send such notice. Said notice and a copy of the written acceptance thereof shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State.
