The Legislative Department of a Local Government Unit (LGU) is responsible for formulating, modifying, and repealing local laws and ordinances that regulate the municipality or city. This department is usually made up of elected officials, such as councilors or board members, who represent the community’s interests. Their key duties include drafting laws, reviewing proposals, holding public hearings, and ensuring adherence to national regulations. By addressing local concerns, the Legislative Department plays a vital role in fostering good governance, transparency, and community involvement within the LGU.
