Which branch handles administrative law in state regulation?

Administrative law is about how government agencies create and enforce rules. In state regulation, these agencies operate under the executive branch, typically led by the governor, and are responsible for implementing statutes, issuing regulations, granting licenses, and enforcing rules. The legislature writes the laws that empower agencies, but does not manage daily administration. The judiciary interprets laws and reviews agency actions for legality, rather than handling administration itself. The federal government is outside the state framework, so it doesn’t handle a state's administrative law.
