delegated legislation

Read a random definition: assertion

A quick definition of delegated legislation:

Delegated legislation is when a group of people, usually from a government agency, make rules that have the same power as laws. These rules are called regulations and they help control certain things, like how businesses operate or how people behave in certain situations. Sometimes, before a regulation becomes official, it is shared with others for feedback and this is called a proposed regulation.

A more thorough explanation:

Delegated legislation is a type of law that is made by someone other than the main law-making body, such as a government agency or department. It is also known as subordinate legislation or agency regulation.

For example, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States can issue regulations that explain and interpret the tax laws passed by Congress. These regulations have the force of law and must be followed by taxpayers.

Another example is when a city council delegates the power to make certain rules to a local board or committee. These rules, known as bylaws, have legal force and must be followed by residents and businesses in the area.

Delegated legislation is important because it allows for more efficient and specialized law-making. However, it is also important to ensure that those who make these laws are accountable and transparent in their decision-making process.
