Question by Tenants: Can individual municipalities make their own laws that supersede state law?

Hello,
This answer was by 30+ years as a criminal defense attorney. “A city cannot enact laws which conflict with state law,.”
Does anyone know the law that supports this and any supporting cases?
Thank you.

Not in South Carolina. The city of Myrtle Beach passed a law to require all motorcycle riders to wear helmets. The state law only requires riders under 16 to wear helmets. The Myrtle Beach law was recently declared unconstitutional by the state supreme court.
