To House Judiciary
Summary
The Judicial Deference Reform Act tells state courts and administrative hearing officers to decide the meaning of laws, regulations and agency guidance on their own, without leaning on the agency’s own interpretation. It directs them to resolve any remaining ambiguity in a way that limits agency power and protects individual liberty. The law takes effect on July 1, 2026 and applies to all state actions after that date.
