state and federal regulations

State and federal regulations are rules established by governments to maintain order and protect the public. Federal regulations come from national laws and agencies, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, which oversee issues that affect the entire country. State regulations are created by local governments and focus on regional concerns, like education or transportation. Both levels of regulations aim to ensure safety, fairness, and compliance with laws, but they can differ. Businesses and individuals must follow both state and federal regulations, and when they conflict, federal law generally takes precedence.
