Terms Used In Florida Statutes 351.37

  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
The state shall supplement and not replace the responsibility of the Federal Government in the inspection of physical conditions of railroad facilities within the state to ascertain compliance with federal standards and regulations. Because this is a supplementary program, the state shall not be deemed to be liable for any actions or omissions in inspecting or failing to inspect railroad facilities. The provisions of this act replace all other provisions in the Florida Statutes relating to jurisdiction over railroad safety.
