home rule

Read a random definition: laundering

A quick definition of home rule:

Home rule is when a town or city gets to make some of its own rules instead of following all the rules made by the state government. This means that the local government can decide how to use its powers and make its own laws. It's like having a little bit of self-government. The state government usually has to agree to give this power to the local government. If a town or city has home rule, it can set up its own system of government and make its own rules. Some places have more home rule than others, depending on what the state allows.

A more thorough explanation:

Home rule is a legal concept that allows local governments to have some control over their own affairs. This means that a city or county can make its own rules and regulations, as long as they do not conflict with state or federal laws.

For example, if a state has home rule, a city or county within that state can create its own laws and regulations. This could include things like zoning laws, building codes, and even taxes. The local government would have the power to enforce these laws and regulations, and would not have to rely on the state government to do so.

One example of home rule in action is in the state of Illinois. In Illinois, some cities and counties have home rule, while others do not. Those that have home rule are able to create their own laws and regulations, while those that do not have to follow state laws and regulations.

Another example of home rule is in the state of Texas. In Texas, cities with populations over 5,000 can choose to become home rule cities. This means that they have more control over their own affairs, and can create their own laws and regulations.

Overall, home rule is an important concept that allows local governments to have more control over their own affairs. This can help to ensure that the needs of local communities are met, and that local governments are able to make decisions that are in the best interests of their constituents.
