The Florida Attorney General issued an opinion saying state law overrides local shopping cart ordinances.
Attorney General James Uthmeier issued an opinion concluding that state law expressly preempts municipalities from requiring shopping cart retention plans, approving or denying those plans, imposing penalties, or mandating shopping cart retention systems with the exception of local ordinances imposed between January 31, 2002 to June 30, 2002.
This opinion was requested by Allan T. Weinthal, attorney for the town of Davie.
