In the great State of Florida, the 3rd largest state, there are 67 counties and 412 cities. Local governments have all of the powers granted to them by the Florida Constitution, the Florida Statutes, general law and special law. Furthermore, most local governments have passed charters, which serve as the “constitution” for the local governmental entity. If the State of Florida were tasked with passing and enforcing laws statewide, it would be overwhelmed. The State of Florida only does so on certain issues (e.g., gun control), and in those circumstances, the State of Florida is known to have “expressly preempted” regulation of that area of the law.
