LEGISLATIVE LAW

Legislative law is another term for statutory law. It refers to laws that are created by a legislative body, such as a state or federal government. These laws are written down and codified, meaning they are organized and published in a way that makes them easy to find and understand.

• The Clean Air Act is a federal legislative law that regulates air pollution in the United States.
• The California Vehicle Code is a state legislative law that outlines the rules and regulations for driving in California.

These examples illustrate how legislative laws are created by a legislative body and are written down in a way that makes them easy to access and understand. The Clean Air Act was created by the United States Congress, while the California Vehicle Code was created by the California State Legislature. Both laws are organized and published in a way that makes it easy for people to find and understand the rules and regulations they contain.
