NEW STATE LAW REQUIRES CITIES AND COUNTIES TO CHALLENGE INTRUSIVE FEDERAL RULES

clipped from www.ncpa.org
This new law enlists Arizona cities, counties and special districts in the fight against an overreaching federal government, says Nick Dranias, Director of the Goldwater Institute's Center for Constitutional Government. 

  • Senate Bill 1398 leverages the fact that federal agencies are required by many federal laws to "coordinate" with local governments to ensure that new federal regulations will be enforced consistently with existing local laws.

  • In other states, local governments have successfully used their coordination rights to block the introduction of wild horses into public and private lands, as well as to prevent new listings of endangered species.  

  • Requires Arizona cities, counties and special districts to demand that the responsible federal agency sit down at a bargaining table and make every reasonable effort to modify the federal regulation to become consistent with local priorities.
