State Constitutional changes proposed a shift in local government by granting the General Assembly the power to organize and structure a city or town's government. Previously, the Municipal Corporation Act (1917) ensured that an independent city or town could choose for itself one of the four forms of government detailed in the act. Mr. Gardner, Associate Director of The Institute of Government, explains each of the four types of government and reviews the consequence of such a shift from local to statewide government control.

Abstract:
Many states and localities are enacting their own immigration-related laws and ordinances. Such laws raise a number of constitutional issues, including federal preemption issues. What is the permissible scope of state and local action in this area? When are state and local immigration laws preempted by federal law? This bulletin explains general preemption principles and provides an analytical tool for determining whether proposed or enacted immigration-related laws may be preempted (and thus invalidated) by federal laws.
