RI Bar CLE: Municipal Preemption: Issues & Hazards

Many municipalities in Rhode Island are controlled by a home-rule charter, authorized by our state constitution. Although this empowers municipalities to self-govern in many areas, there are still limitations on that authority. The Rhode Island constitution, state statutes, and related case law, all provide guidance as to the areas where municipalities may properly exercise legislative authority.
