An amendment to a state law that bans smoking in local music clubs and bars has generated much opposition from the restaurant industry, which cites that it will decrease their business and reduce a tax income to the state
The legislative session where this amendment was proposed expires and the amendment is dead. However, the governor signs an executive order that puts this ban into effect. The restaurant industry sues the state and the court rules in favor of the governor. In this situation, health policy has been developed through: (Select all that apply.)
1. Legislation.
2. Administrative decision.
3. Judicial decision.
4. Regulation.
5. Special interest lobbying.
Answer: 2, 3
Explanation: 2. Though the amendment was proposed through legislation, when the legislative session ended, it rendered the amendment dead. An executive order, as long as it is not in contradiction to existing law, can be done by an executive office (the governor) to create policy. Judicial decisions reflect the court's interpretation of laws, which in this case upheld the administrative decision made through executive order. Regulation is a rule or order with legal force to uphold a procedure following implementation that has not yet occurred. Special interest lobbying was not used in this process.
