Stronger court review of agency actions
The law stops courts and state hearing officers from giving special weight to a state agency’s view of a law. They must read and decide the meaning of statutes, rules, and other binding documents themselves, from scratch. In cases brought by or against a state agency, after using normal tools to read the law, they must resolve any remaining doubt in favor of a person’s fundamental constitutional rights. The law uses the existing state definitions for “state agency” and “rule and regulation.”
