TITLE 28--JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE
PART IV--JURISDICTION AND VENUE
CHAPTER 85--DISTRICT COURTS; JURISDICTION
Sec. 1352. Bonds executed under federal law
The district courts shall have original jurisdiction, concurrent
with State courts, of any action on a bond executed under any law of the
United States, except matters within the jurisdiction of the Court of
International Trade under section 1582 of this title.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 934; Pub. L. 96-417, title V,
Sec. 506, Oct. 10, 1980, 94 Stat. 1743.)
Historical and Revision Notes
This section is necessary to permit actions in the district courts
upon any bond authorized by a law of the United States. In the absence
of this new provision, such actions could not be maintained except by
the United States, where the amount and other jurisdictional requisites
did not exist. The new section also makes clear that it does not affect
the right to prosecute such actions in State courts.
Amendments
1980--Pub. L. 96-417 inserted exception for matters within the
jurisdiction of the Court of International Trade under section 1582 of
this title.
