Bill > SB1289

This bill prohibits municipalities and counties from enacting local rules, such as ordinances or resolutions, that do not align with or are stricter than existing state statutes on the same subject, unless specifically permitted by state law. This means that if the state has a law covering a particular topic, cities and counties must follow that law and cannot create their own regulations that contradict or go beyond what the state has established, regardless of when the state law was passed. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2016.
