What happens if a home rule law conflicts with a state law?
Generally, cities and counties and townships (etc.) are created by the State legislature and get all their powers of government by permission of the State. So if a local "home rule" law conflicts with a state law, the state law should prevail. The local law should be void and unenforceable. The law would call it "ultra vires" meaning the local government went beyond their authority to pass such a law. But if state law says that local governments are allowed to regulate things above and beyond the state level of regulation, then it's OK. So really, the answer is "it depends" on what law on what subject, and in what jurisdiction.
