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.
