Administrative agency

An administrative agency is a government organization created to enforce specific laws and regulations. These agencies, like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), develop detailed rules to ensure compliance with the law, oversee industries, and protect public interests. They have the authority to investigate issues, conduct hearings, and impose penalties for violations. Essentially, administrative agencies act as the bridge between legislation and practical enforcement, helping to implement and manage rules that affect daily life, business practices, and public safety.
