Orphan date February 2009 Quasi legislative is the capacity in which a public administrative agency or body acts when it makes rules and regulations. When an Administrative Agency exercises its rule making authority, it is said to act in a quasi legislative manner. Administrative agencies acquire this authority to make rules and regulations that affect legal rights through statutes. This authority is an exception to the general principle that laws affecting rights should be passed only by elected lawmakers. Administrative agency rules are made only with the permission of elected lawmakers, and elected lawmakers may strike down an administrative rule or even eliminate an agency. In this sense quasi legislative activity occurs at the discretion of elected officials. Nevertheless, administrative agencies create and enforce many legal rules on their own, often without the advice of lawmakers, and the rules have the force of law. This means they have a binding effect on the general public. Examples of quasi legislative actions abound. Dozens of administrative agencies exist on the federal level, and dozens more exist on the state and local levels, and most of them have the authority to make rules that affect substantive rights. Agencies with authority over environmental matters may pass ... agencies. The United Nations General Assembly has been described as a quasi legislative body ref Volgy, Thomas 1973 .
