promulgating
Making widely known
Promulgating is making something widely known, especially by formal announcement or official declaration.
Laws are promulgated when enacted and published.
Doctrines, rules, and decrees get promulgated by authorities: The Vatican promulgated new guidelines on confession.
The word carries an air of officialdom—you promulgate regulations, not rumors.
