Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cities and many counties may adopt ordinances that define certain criminal violations when authorized by state constitutions or acts of state legislatures. Charters are documents that establish the powers and limitations of a local government, but they do not specifically define criminal violations. Statutes are laws passed by the state legislature, not local governments. Regulations pertain to administrative rules and policies, not criminal violations.
