Is a local ordinance valid if it conflicts with state law?
A local ordinance is invalid if it actually conflicts with state law. A conflict exists when the ordinance permits what state law forbids, or forbids what state law expressly allows. However, generally speaking, a municipality may adopt more restrictive regulations than state law, so long as the state has not fully occupied the field or preempted local action.
