Laws are not made by lawyers. For many, this might be a huge sigh of relief. Instead, laws are made one of three ways. The first way a law is passed is through the federal or state legislative branch. The Federal legislative branch, which consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives, and the state legislative branch, made of the state Senate and the assembly (or House of Representatives), votes on the suggested law. If the law is approved by both Houses of Congress, these laws, or statutes, are sent to the Executive branch.

The Executive branch is headed by the President at the Federal level and by the Governor at the State level. The President (or Governor) receives the statute and either approves it or vetoes it. If approved, it goes into affect. Various Federal Executive agencies are given the responsibility of enforcing these statutes. Examples of these agencies at the Federal level include the SEC, IRS, EEOC, and OSHA. On the state level, the agencies include the Department of Real Estate, CALOSHA, Department of Corporations, and the DFEH, or the Department of Fair Housing and Employment. These agencies are allowed to enact and enforce additional regulations within their authority.
