(2)Jurisdiction of the State of Oregon, both civil and criminal, over persons upon areas acquired under this section shall not be affected or changed by reason of their acquisition and administration by the United States as migratory bird reservations, except so far as the punishment of offenses against the United States is concerned.
(3)Nothing in this section is intended to interfere with the operation of the laws of the State of Oregon applying to migratory game birds insofar as they do not permit what is forbidden by federal law. [Amended by 1967 c.421 §187]
