Administrative Law is sometimes called regulatory law. Government agencies develop regulations, also called rules, to help them carry out their functions. Congress first passes a law, or statute, that delegates authority to an agency, the agency creates rules, and the rules are passed and become part of law.
Rules/regulations that pass have the force of law, just like laws passed by Congress.
Regulations inform business of legal rules they must follow. Regulations affect the rights and responsibilities of citizens. They also inform the public about grants and other funding opportunities.
