Policies of Home Rule

Home Rule policies allow local governments, like cities or counties, to govern themselves with a degree of independence from state authorities. This means they can make decisions on local issues such as schools, infrastructure, and services without needing approval from the state every time. The goal is to give communities more control over their own affairs, enabling them to address specific local needs more effectively. However, their powers are still limited by state laws, ensuring uniformity and preventing conflicts between local and state priorities.
