    Product Description


    The ability of municipalities to legislate and act is largely defined by the Home Rule Amendment to the Massachusetts Constitution. The Home Rule Amendment establishes the authority of cities and towns to create charters and legislate—and also delineates the contours and limits of this power. 

    Join our experts as we examine the ability of municipalities to stipulate details of their own governance and enact local laws and regulations that do not conflict with state and federal statutes.
