The State of South Carolina reserves concurrent jurisdiction to enforce the criminal and civil laws of this State within the National Advocacy Center and further reserves the right to serve criminal or civil process within the facility in prosecutions or suits for or on account of crimes committed, rights acquired, or obligations incurred in the State of South Carolina. The jurisdiction so ceded shall continue as long as the United States of America leases the National Advocacy Center.
