**The answer is federal and state legislatures. Legislatures write the laws — boards and agencies enforce them.**

State licensing boards, health inspection agencies, and regulatory departments all play a role in day-to-day enforcement, and they write the specific rules that explain how to comply. But the underlying laws themselves come from legislatures, not from any regulatory agency.
