Offshore waters and submerged lands; Commonwealth jurisdiction to three miles; survey. Updates the description of the offshore waters over which the Commonwealth has jurisdiction. In place of a reference to certain seas claimed in the Virginia Constitution of 1776, the bill provides for jurisdiction over offshore waters for a distance of three geographical miles as determined by metes and bounds surveys. The bill also directs the Secretary of Natural Resources to conduct surveys of the three-mile boundary and to request that the Attorney General file the surveys in the United States Supreme Court.

Offshore waters and submerged lands; Commonwealth jurisdiction of three geographical miles.

Del. Barry Knight [R]
