nuisances.
A.  Cities and towns in this state shall have the right and
power to determine what is and what shall constitute a nuisance
within their respective corporate limits, and for the protection of
the public health, the public parks and the public water supply,
shall have such power outside of the corporate limits; and wherever
it is practical so to do, the cities and towns shall have the power
summarily to abate any such nuisance after notice to the owner, and
an opportunity for him to be heard, if this can be given.  Any
action conducted by critical infrastructure sectors shall not
constitute a nuisance when the applicable industry acts in
compliance with or acts consistently with government rules,
guidelines, laws and municipal ordinances or laws applicable to
their sector.
B.  For purposes of this section, "critical infrastructure
sectors" means any of the critical infrastructure sectors identified
by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) whose
assets, systems and networks, whether physical or virtual, are
considered so vital to the United States and the state that the
sectors' incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating
effect on security, economic security, public health or safety or
any combination thereof.
