A typical form of delegated legislation is a bye-law. Delegated legislation is the process by which the legislature delegates its law-making authority to other bodies, such as government agencies or local authorities. Bye-laws are a form of delegated legislation that are made by local authorities, such as city councils or district councils, to regulate activities within their jurisdictions. Bye-laws can cover a wide range of issues, including public health, safety, and environmental concerns. For example, a local council may create a bye-law that prohibits smoking in public parks or sets rules for the use of public spaces. Bye-laws are often created in response to local needs or concerns and can be enforced by the local authority through fines or other penalties.
