022876P.pdf   08/04/2003  Tow Operators  v.  City of Kansas City
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  02-2876
   Western District of Missouri   
Civil case - FAA Authorization Act of 1994. Kansas City ordinance designed to halt wreck chasing by tow companies was not preempted by the FAA Authorization Act of 1994; the State of Missouri has properly delegated its safety regulatory authority to the city through the adoption of charter-city authority, and the ordinance therefore fell within the safety exception provided in 49 U.S.C. Sec. 14501(c)(2)(A).
