Police Power Clause Samples
The Police Power clause defines the government's authority to regulate or restrict certain activities or property uses in the interest of public health, safety, morals, or general welfare. In practice, this means that even if a contract grants specific rights or permissions, those rights may be limited or overridden by laws, regulations, or actions taken by governmental authorities under their police powers. For example, a business lease may be subject to zoning changes or new safety regulations imposed by the city. The core function of this clause is to clarify that contractual obligations are subject to overriding government regulations, thereby allocating the risk of regulatory changes and ensuring that parties understand their agreements cannot contravene public law.
