Right to Regulate Clause Samples
The Right to Regulate clause affirms a party’s authority—typically a government or regulatory body—to enact, modify, or enforce laws and regulations within its jurisdiction, even if such actions affect existing agreements or investments. In practice, this means that the government can introduce new environmental, health, or safety standards that may impact businesses or contractual relationships, regardless of prior commitments. The core function of this clause is to preserve the sovereign power to protect public interests and adapt to changing circumstances, ensuring that private agreements do not unduly restrict necessary regulatory actions.
