Rulemaking

Rulemaking is the process by which government agencies develop, propose, and establish regulations that have the force of law. It typically involves several steps, including drafting rules based on laws passed by legislatures, inviting public comments to gather input, revising the proposed rules, and formally adopting them. The goal of rulemaking is to provide clear guidelines for implementing laws and ensuring public safety, health, and welfare. Once finalized, these regulations help govern specific activities, behaviors, or industries, making the rules transparent and accessible to those affected by them.
