The power of local governments to pass legislation is called "home rule." Home rule is the authority granted to local governments, such as cities and counties, to create, amend, and enforce their own laws and regulations. It allows them to have a degree of self-governance and independence from the state or federal government. The specific extent of home rule can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the laws in place. To find out more about the power of local governments to pass legislation in a specific area, you can refer to the relevant state or regional laws, ordinances, or charters.
