Adopted Local Laws

 
Local Laws are rules and regulations passed by the Rockland County Legislature and signed by the County Executive (or, should the Executive veto the law, overridden by a 2/3 vote of the full Legislature). Local Laws regulate matters that your County government has the authority by its charter to handle and the Legislature has determined to be important enough to have a law, providing that the federal or state governments have not pre-empted the subject matter by their laws. Generally, these laws relate to the health and safety of our County’s residents, but can also include governmental salaries, County taxes, governmental regulations, establishing commissions, regulating contractors, land preservation, and other functions that the County Charter empowers the County government to handle.

Please note that Local Laws do not go into effect immediately. Rather, each law may have its own "effective date" stated in it. This effective date usually appears at the end of the Local Law. Local Laws cannot go into effect until they are filed with the New York State Secretary of State. Therefore, even though a local law is passed, it may still not be in effect until some time later.
