Dear measl-ga;
Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. The
answer to your question is YES, cities can regulate by ordinance
whatever they see fit as long as the ordinance is in harmony with
state law.
Municipalities and other formal governmental entities lower that the
State level may legally pass an ordinance where state law does not
preempt the ordinance, where the ordinance is not in conflict or
attempts to supersede any state law, or (most importantly in your
case) where state law does not occupy that particular area of
regulation.
This question was affirmed in the Western District Court of Appeal?s
opinion in the case entitled: Borron v. Buck Farrenkopf, Becky Thudium
and Jim Libby in their Capacity as the Board of County Commissioners
of Linn County, Missouri and Linn County, Missouri and State of
Missouri, Amicus Curiae, Respondents.
Case Number: WD56648 Date: 11/23/1999
