Most states have their own laws and codes, although many use as a benchmark certain model codes, such as the Model Penal Code, which was developed by the American Law Institute. The states take the model codes and add or subtract features as their own legislatures see fit. Other states draft their codes from scratch.
All states recognize actions taken by their sister states, as does the federal government, under the "full faith and credit" clause of the Constitution.

Some they do, and some they don't. For example, driver's license is good in all 50 states Hunting and fishing licenses are not.
Oklahoma has what is called reciprocal laws. If another state allows an Okie to do something, Oklahoma will allow a citizen of that state the same.
If a state charges an Okie $200 to have a service or license from that state, residents from that state must pay the same in OK.
It discourages price gouging against non-residents

The Constitution requires each state to give "full faith and credit" to the laws of the other states, so that if you are married in Florida, you are married in every other state, ditto divorce. But this is not true of other things. If California decides that all trash cans in the state must be made of rubber, that does not mean people in the other states have to use rubber trash bins...

Yes they do. The states carry a lot of power. Which is the way it should be. We never ever want the feds to get the upper hand.
