Hendricks v. Barlow |
Landowners were held in violation of a zoning regulation, established under a Hendricks County ordinance, which forbade having wild animals residing on residential property.
The trial court held that the county could not pass such a law, since it would be preempted by state and federal law.
However, on appeal, this Court found that federal (the AWA) and state law did not preempt the County from passing such ordinances.
The trial court erroneously attempted to interpret the law when it was not ambiguous, and, thus, preemption
by state and federal law should not have been found.
Thus, the zoning regulation was permitted.
