Which type of cities or towns operate under State Legislation without making changes to those laws?

General Law cities or towns operate under State Legislation without making changes to those laws. This means they adhere strictly to the statutes and regulations established by the state. They do not have the authority to enact their own ordinances that differ from state law. Instead, their governance is primarily guided by the laws set forth at the state level, ensuring uniformity and consistency in how local governance is administered within those jurisdictions.

In contrast, Home Rule cities have the right to create their own laws and regulations, as long as they do not conflict with state laws. Charter Cities also have a degree of autonomy but operate under a specific charter established by the state, granting them the ability to govern themselves to an extent. Self-Governing refers to a broader concept where municipalities may operate independently, but it generally encompasses Home Rule and Charter Cities rather than the restricted framework of General Law cities.
