Summary

The California Constitution authorizes cities and counties to make and enforce within their limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws, and further authorizes cities organized under a charter to make and enforce all ordinances and regulations in respect to municipal affairs, which supersede inconsistent general laws. This bill would prohibit a local agency, as defined, from prohibiting the shipment or storage of any energy source material, including, but not limited to, coal, within its jurisdiction. The bill would declare that its provisions constitute a matter of statewide concern.
