Decree meaning

Hi,

I read a document which says ‘you are fined under the decree 190-250’. What is the meaning of decree?

Quick Summary

A decree is a legally binding rule or order issued by a head of state, such as a President, following specific constitutional procedures. It carries significant legal weight. Unlike an Act, which is a bill passed through legislative steps, a decree is typically a direct order from the head of state.
