- cbg0 8y agoFrom what I've understood from the last two pages, it seems that under the law, cities lack enough legal authority to perform these types of bans. > The Act’s exemption does not save the Ordinance because the City has not identified a law authorizing the manner in which the City seeks to regulate. The general grants of regulatory authority the City relies on do not authorize the manner the City has chosen and, more to the point, do not supersede the express directive in the Act.
