During the 2022 state legislative session Local Solutions Support Center (LSSC) publishes a weekly digest summarizing notable abusive preemption bills and their progress through session.

This snapshot identifies states where abusive preemption bills have been enacted or are pending in 2021. In some states, multiple bills addressing the same issues have been introduced, but that is not reflected in this data.

This fact sheet, produced in partnership with ChangeLab Solutions, summarizes this emerging threat to state and local public health authority and identifies some of the possible outcomes.
