The term 'establish, as a statute' can be summarized by the word 'ENACT'. To ENACT something is to make it legally binding, usually through a formal process. This could involve passing a law or creating a policy. It is often used in reference to legislation, which is a set of rules or regulations that are created and enforced by a governing body. Enacting a statute is an important step in ensuring that laws and policies are followed and respected.
