Section 113.

The Legislature of California hereby consents to the retrocession of jurisdiction by the United States of land within this state upon and subject to each and all of the following express conditions:

(a) The United States must in writing have requested state acceptance of retrocession, and unless there is an officer of the United States empowered by a United States statute to cede jurisdiction, the request shall be by the act of Congress. The retrocession may return all jurisdiction to the state or may provide for concurrent jurisdiction.

(b) When the conditions of subdivision (a) have been found and declared to have occurred and to exist, by the State Lands Commission, the commission shall hold a hearing to determine whether acceptance of the retrocession is in the best interests of the state. Notice of the hearing shall be published pursuant to Section 6061 in each county in which the land or any part of the land is situated and a copy of the notice shall be personally served upon the clerk of the board of supervisors of each such county. The State Lands Commission shall make rules and regulations governing the conditions and procedure of the hearings.

(c) The determination of the State Lands Commission shall be final and jurisdiction accepted shall become effective when certified copies of its orders or resolutions have been recorded in the office of the county recorder of each county in which any part of the land is situated. The State Lands Commission shall keep copies of its orders or resolutions and make them available to the public upon request.
