Best Answer

In the United States, laws are enacted by Congress (the legislative branch), which will normally announce the status of bills that are being introduced, debated, and voted. When these bills are passed, they go to the President for his signature. Officials of either the legislative or executive branch may inform the public. The duty to interpret and rule on the applicability on new laws falls to the judicial branch, which are US federal courts.

Enacted laws are recorded in the Congressional Record.

Both these laws and any regulations regarding their enforcement will be promulgated by the executive departments and agencies which are tasked for their enforcement. For criminal laws, this would be the Department of Justice. Civil laws would be the responsibility of the other Cabinet departments

Other than their official publication, there is no individual agency or branch of government which is tasked with the mandatory responsibility of disseminating information to all citizens about new national laws. Of the many laws passed by Congress, some are so limited in their application that the public as a whole may not be directly aware of them.

Laws vs Regulations

The Executive Branch, in their duty of administering the laws, may from time-to-time promulgate regulations which assist them in their task of enforcement, which in themselves can have the force of law, but these regulations are, and must be, grounded in the law which the agency is charged to enforce.

Another View: There is NO agency of the US Federal Government that is charged, by law, with the RESPONSIBILITY of informing the citizens of new laws or legislation.
