HB0066HW003

This amendment removes the de novo review standard for agency interpretations of statutes and regulations, replacing it with a requirement that courts conduct de novo review of all agency decisions.

• Deletes the introductory language establishing that courts shall not defer to agency interpretations of statutes, rules, regulations, or sub-regulatory documents. (Page 2, line 21)
• Deletes the remainder of subsection (d) which specified that courts shall interpret the meaning of statutes, rules, and regulations de novo instead of deferring to agency interpretations. (Page 2, lines 22-23)
• Replaces the deleted subsection language with a simpler requirement that 'The court shall review the decision of the agency de novo.' (Page 3, lines 1-3)
