ARTICLE III — CONCURRENT JURISDICTION
(1) If conduct is prohibited by two (2) adjoining party states, courts and law enforcement officers in either state who have jurisdiction over vessel offenses committed where waters form a common interstate boundary have concurrent jurisdiction to arrest, prosecute and try offenders for the prohibited conduct committed anywhere on the boundary water between the two (2) states.
