Hosted by the Local Government Legal Center (LGLC), join legal experts in a discussion of the new Supreme Court term and what decisions local governments should watch. The Supreme Court will rule on several major cases this term, including issues related to:
- Whether providing a former homeowner with the difference of the sales price and the tax debt after a tax foreclosure on real property instead of the fair market value and the tax debt constitutes either a Taking under the Fifth Amendment or an Excessive Fine under the Eighth Amendment
- The standard under the Fourth Amendment for warrantless entries into a home for non-criminal emergencies
- A Second Amendment challenge to state laws that ban conceal carry permit holders from bringing firearms onto private property absent the property owners express consent
- Presidential authority to fire independent heads of agencies
The webinar will also discuss several cases of importance to local governments from the Court’s emergency order docket as well as other cases on the Court’s docket that may impact local governments’ finances and authority. The LGLC is a coalition of national local government organizations formed in 2023 by the National Association of Counties (NACo), National League of Cities (NLC) and International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA) to provide education to local governments regarding the Supreme Court and its impact on local governments and local officials and to advocate for local government positions at the Supreme Court in appropriate cases.
