THE drafting of implementing rules and regulations (IRR) becomes imperative after a law is enacted. The IRR's purpose is to establish guidelines that will facilitate compliance with the law and the realization of its objectives. A recurring challenge, however, is the presence of IRR provisions that may conflict with the underlying law or, in some cases, the absence of necessary regulations. This raises concerns and questions among interested parties regarding which set of guidelines should take precedence.
