Alabama Administrative Procedure Act; standard of judicial review revised regarding agency's interpretation of law

Summary

The bill amends the Alabama Administrative Procedure Act to alter the standard of judicial review for agency interpretations of statutes. Courts can no longer presume an agency’s reading is correct; they must assess whether the interpretation is reasonable. This affects state agencies, regulated parties, and the courts that hear these disputes.
