Regulations are rules passed by administrative agencies. While each agency may set particular guidelines for its own rulemaking process, the basic requirements for the adoption of a regulation are usually outlined by the legislature in a statute referred to as the Administrative Procedures Act, or “APA.” A link to each jurisdiction’s APA (if it’s publicly available online) appears below.
