The term "local law" refers to a statute or ordinance that is enacted by a local government, such as a city council, county board, or other municipal body. These laws are designed to regulate and govern specific aspects of life within their jurisdiction, including issues related to public health, safety, zoning, land use, taxation, and more. Local laws vary depending on the needs and priorities of the community they serve, and may be amended or repealed as necessary by the local government body that enacted them.
