Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of statutory requirements?

The choice indicating that statutory requirements depend on individual organizations' policies is the best choice because statutory requirements are laws that are passed by legislative bodies, such as state legislatures or the U.S. Congress. These laws are binding and enforceable, meaning they must be followed and can be upheld in a court of law, regardless of the policies of individual organizations.

In contrast, individual organizations can create their own policies and procedures that may go above and beyond the statutory requirements, but those policies cannot negate or replace the law itself. Statutory requirements establish a baseline of legal obligations that apply uniformly across a jurisdiction, while organizational policies are specific to the internal governance of an entity and may vary widely between different organizations.

The other characteristics accurately describe statutory requirements: they must be enacted by legislative bodies, they are enforceable by law, and they can indeed vary from state to state, as each state may enact different laws addressing similar issues. Thus, the characteristic about being dependent on individual policies stands out as not fitting the nature of statutory requirements.
