Preferred term

policy implementation  

Definition

  • Concisely defined, policy implementation is what occurs after a legislature has acted and a bill becomes law. Legislatures typically are unable to consider all that must be undertaken when they envisage a program or initiative and so rely on implementers (or administrators) to flesh out the details once a statute has been enacted.
