HARRY HUGHES, Governor

1459

Subsections (b) and (c) of this section are new
language derived without substantive change from
former Art. 96, § 2 and the limitation, as to acreage,
in the first clause of § 1.

Subsection (c) of this section is revised to apply
prospectively although former Art. 96, § 2 referred to
land on which a navigational aid "has been built, or
is about to be built" and could be read as
ratification of actions before enactment of Ch. 193,
Acts of 1874, and, therefore, obsolete. However, the
bulk revision of the Code in 1888 included former Art.
96, § 2 and, thus, suggested that the provision was
read as prospective.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the limitation
"that the State holds in the land" is added to reflect
that the Governor cannot convey title to land when
title already has been conveyed under a land patent
issued before March 3, 1862.

SUBTITLE 2. REVERSIONS.

14-201. TITLE.

ANY LAND THAT IS WITHIN THE GEORGE WASHINGTON MEMORIAL
PARKWAY AND WAS TRANSFERRED TO THE UNITED STATES UNDER CHAPTER
378 OF THE ACTS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF 1941, REVERTS TO THE
STATE IF THE UNITED STATES CEASES TO USE THE LAND FOR PARK
PURPOSES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language added to
permit the decodification of the referenced act, which
formerly appeared as Art. 96, § 33, while retaining a
provision in the Code as to reversion of the land.

14-202. JURISDICTION.

JURISDICTION CEDED TO THE UNITED STATES CEASES IF THE UNITED
STATES CEASES TO HOLD LAND ACQUIRED UNDER:

(1)  CHAPTER 394 OF THE ACTS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
OF 1910;

(2)  CHAPTER 59, §§ 36A AND 36B, OF THE ACTS OF THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF 1950; OR

(3)  CHAPTER 158 OF THE ACTS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
OF 1953.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language added to
permit the decodification of the referenced acts,
which formerly appeared as Art. 96, §§ 29, 34, 41, and
42 and which related to specific tracts of land, while
