An Administrative Order is a directive issued by a government agency or official to manage operations and enforce regulations. These orders help ensure compliance with laws and policies, guiding the actions of employees and the public. They can cover various topics, such as public health, safety, or environmental protection. Administrative orders are often used to implement changes quickly without the need for lengthy legislative processes. They can be temporary or permanent and may include specific instructions, deadlines, or penalties for non-compliance. Examples include orders from the Environmental Protection Agency or local health departments.
