2021 was an unprecedented year for abusive preemption. As local elected officials and advocates sought to protect their communities from the ongoing public health and economic effects of the pandemic, they encountered preemption efforts from state lawmakers on a scale never before seen.

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.

Determining whether local governments have authority to implement local tenant protections, particularly in the face of potential state preemption, remains a challenge.

A new white paper from LSSC explores in more detail how some state legislatures are using preemption to undermine local control of police budgeting, accountability, and management.

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.

The Local Solutions Support Center has compiled short memos summarizing the nature and scope of local authority in each state.
