Organic Statute

An Organic Statute is a foundational law that establishes and governs the structure and functions of a government agency or organization. It defines the agency's purpose, powers, responsibilities, and organizational framework, providing the legal basis for its operations. Think of it as the Constitution for that specific agency, ensuring it functions within a clear legal boundary. Organic statutes help maintain consistency and accountability, guiding how the agency carries out its duties and interacts with other parts of the government and the public.
