Preemptions in Federal Legislation in the 111th and Previous Congresses

CBO: Preemptions in Federal Legislation in the 111th and Previous Congresses, June 21, 2011

  • “This supplement to the Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO’s) series of publications reporting on federal mandates, as defined by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, focuses on preemptions, a type of mandate that would limit the authority of state, local, or tribal governments to apply and enforce their own laws. The report discusses the nature of federal preemptions and identifies preemptive language in legislation considered by the 111th Congress; it also outlines the policy areas most affected by those proposed federal requirements and presents data about other preemptions CBO has identified since 2001.”
