In reply to an incident questioning the validity of a statute, the state’s AG responded with the usual, “determines that the enactment was reasonably necessary to further a legitimate public interest.”
This is open ended. However, very importantly, challenges to the constitutionality of the laws, and this is really the case here, fall under the doctrine of judicial review. There are 3 levels with “general interest” allowing the government to do almost anything. Strict review applies to violations of constitutional and fundamental rights and requires “a compelling reason and there is no other alternative available,” so it’s protected. Most violations of free speech and the unequal protection of the laws and due process, as we see in HOA violations, require a strict review.
Judicial review rarely occurs and not invoked when filing a relevant complaint.
