What are administrative agencies?

Administrative agencies are governmental bodies responsible for implementing and enforcing specific laws and regulations. They operate at both federal and state levels, exercising authority to create rules, conduct investigations, and adjudicate disputes within their designated areas, such as environmental protection, public health, and labor relations. These agencies play a crucial role in the regulatory framework, helping to ensure compliance and manage public policy effectively. Examples include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
