Policy Maintenance, Succession or Termination

Policy maintenance, succession, or termination refers to how government policies are managed over time. Maintenance involves ensuring that existing policies remain effective and relevant. Succession happens when new policies are developed to replace outdated ones, often adapting to changing needs or information. Termination occurs when a policy is completely removed, usually because it is no longer effective or necessary. Together, these processes help lawmakers continually improve public services and address societal challenges by assessing what works, what doesn’t, and what needs to change.
