• •This law defines what 'local agency' means—it includes counties, cities, and public districts.
• •When the law says 'United States,' it also means any part of the U.S. government, like a department or agency.
• •When the law says 'State,' it also means any part of the state government, like a department or agency.

If a city passes a rule about trash pickup, that rule applies to everyone in the city.

The city is a 'local agency,' so it can make rules for people who live there.
