Abstract
Local regulations as one of the forms of legislation nearly all impose sanctions on violators. This is
understandable because of the sanctions is part of the preventive efforts to enforce local regulations. Especially
with regard to sanctions, local regulations can regulate penal and administrative sanctions. Differences in the
offense led to uncertainty related to a prohibited act in several regions in Indonesia. The uncertainty will cause
people harmed. Indonesian society is high mobility between regions led to the regional community A convicted
of acts prohibited in area B when A is not prohibited in the area. Legal certainty should be understood as a
condition, in which the law is applied to the clear certainty to the subject and the object clearly. The law gives
certainty to every citizen who under legal proceedings and sanctions when violated or they violate the law.
Besides the legal certainty should also be accompanied by the legal process that applies equally to anyone who
violates the law. Problems encountered in regulating the establishment of criminal sanctions in it is guidance
formation is not clear and is very common. The guidelines for the amount of sanctions is regulated in detail but
in the guidelines for determining the act / offense is not set. This is exactly what led to inter-regional
arrangements regarding the act / offense prohibited different and cause legal uncertainty.

1. Introduction
Indonesia is a unitary state as mentioned in Constitution of The Republic of Indonesia in 1945 article 1 (1):  the
state of Indonesia is a unitary state in the Republic form . Statements as a unitary state has an impact on
implementation of the Government in Indonesia. The state is the highest organization of one group or several
groups of people who have the aspiration to live together in a certain area, and has a sovereign government1.
State Assignment divide into three category2. Firstly the state must provide protection to the population in a
specific region. Secondly, the state support or directly providing various services in the social life of society,
economy, and culture. Third, the state becomes an impartial referee between the parties to the conflict in the
community and provide a judicial system that guarantees basic fairness and public relations. The task of the state
according to the current modem ideology (in a Welfare State or Social Service State), is held in the public
interest to provide prosperity and welfare profusely for fairness in a State of Law'.
         In the implementation, Indonesia divided into provincial, district or city. The distribution of the region,
must be accompanied by the distribution of power / authority. It is on a basic view that the authority given to the
area then the area can host Government. Prasudi Amosudirdjo argue about the meaning of authority in relation to
the following powers:
          The authority is what is called formal power, the power that comes from the legislative power (given
          by law) or from the power of the Executive /Administrative. The authority is the authority over a
          particular class of persons or government authority over a field (or fields of affairs) that particular
          round, whereas the authority only of a certain auto parts. Inside there is authority-authorized
          authority. The authority is a power to do acts of public law. ,,0
          While Indroharto argued that the authority acquired attribution, delegation and mandates, each of which
is as follows:
         The powers obtained attribution , ie authorizing the new government by a provision in the
         legislation. So, here are born / created a new government authority. At the delegation going on a
         delegation of authority that has existed by which the Agency has obtained an attributive government
         authority to another agency. Thus, a delegation is always preceded by the attribution of authority
         something. On the mandate, there have not been any new authorization and delegation of authority
