KRS 35.030

Territorial applicability of the code

Known as the Kentucky Code

The act spans §§ 35–35 (212 sections).

Effective: June 25, 2013 History: Amended 2013 Ky

(1) This code has applicability at all times and in all places subject to the personal jurisdiction as provided in KRS 35.015, or, if not in a duty status, that there is a nexus between the act or omission constituting the offense and the efficient functioning of the state military forces; however, this grant of military jurisdiction shall neither preclude nor limit civilian jurisdiction over an offense, which is limited only by the prohibition of double jeopardy.

(2) Courts-martial and courts of inquiry may be convened and held in units of the state military forces while those units are serving outside the same jurisdiction and powers as to persons subject to this code as if the proceeding were held inside the state, and offenses committed outside the state may be tried and punished either inside or outside the state.
