Neutral Bill Mar 16, 2026

COURTS-AGENCY DEFERENCE

Amends the Statute on Statutes. Provides that, when interpreting the provisions of any State law or rule, a court shall not defer to an agency's interpretation of the law or rule and shall interpret its meaning and effect de novo. Provides that, in an action brought by or against an agency, after applying all customary tools of interpretation, a court shall exercise any remaining doubt in favor of a reasonable interpretation that limits agency power and maximizes individual liberty.
