Agency Rulemaking
Agency rulemaking is the process by which government agencies create specific regulations to implement laws passed by legislatures. After a law is enacted, agencies develop detailed rules to guide how the law will be applied in practice. This often involves research, public input through comments, and revisions. The goal is to ensure the regulations are effective and enforceable. Once finalized, these rules have the force of law and help clarify the intentions of the original legislation, affecting businesses, individuals, and various sectors.
