The law you are referring to is likely the "Declaratory Act" of 1766, which was passed by the British Parliament. This act asserted Parliament's authority to legislate for the colonies "in all cases whatsoever," effectively reaffirming its power over colonial affairs, especially after the repeal of the Stamp Act. It was intended to clarify that the British government maintained ultimate control over the American colonies, despite growing colonial resistance.
