Legislative Summary

SB1487 - (broad preemption) - A bill relating to state shared revenues - Signed by Governor

This "super preemption" bill would withhold state revenue-sharing funds from municipalities that adopt any policy that "violate[s] state law or the state constitution." By notifying the state attorney general, a single legislator can stop the transfer of local funds by objecting to any local policy regardless of topic. The practical impact is that any local policy to promote health, safety, civil rights, or workers is at risk.
