Licensing Law

Licensing law, within administrative law, refers to the rules and processes that government agencies use to grant permissions for individuals or businesses to engage in certain activities, like operating a restaurant or practicing a profession. These laws ensure that applicants meet specific standards, such as safety or competency, to protect public interests. Licensing helps regulate industries, maintain quality, and uphold safety standards while also providing a framework for enforcement if someone operates without a required license or fails to comply with regulations.
