Statutes are enacted by a constitutionally defined legislative body, whereas an agency is, itself, created by statutes. The scope of legislative powers within an agency is determined by its chartering statute and the process for proposing rules may also be copiously defined. On the other hand, an administrative agency "order" may also refer to a quasi-judicial finding by an agency, based upon the statutes and its own regulations, after having a dispute or query brought to its attention. An administrative law judge may issue such an order.
statutes are passed by legislatures. Administrative agencies adopt, repeal and amend regulations under the authority granted to them by statutes.

Administrative agencies derive their authority to act from the powers conferred upon them by legislation or enabling statutes. These statutes provide the framework for the agency's jurisdiction, purpose, and scope of authority. Additionally, executive orders or regulations issued by the executive branch may also grant administrative agencies authority to carry out specific functions and responsibilities within their designated areas of expertise.
