A state law such as Costa-Hawkins, which fully occupies an area, is to apply in the same manner in all jurisdictions in the state. If local government were permitted to adopt regulations defining a preemptive state law and establishing presumptions of violation, chaos would result. The state law would mean something different depending on the location of its application. The preemption doctrine is designed to avoid that result.[5]
