As the state's legislative body, the Pahang State Legislative Assembly's main function is to enact laws that apply to Pahang, known as enactments. The Speaker presides over the Assembly's proceedings, and works to maintain order during debates.
The state government's executive branch, including the Menteri Besar, are drawn from the Assembly.

The Menteri Besar then appoints members of the State EXCO drawing from members of the Assembly.
