Courts Gain Full Power to Interpret Agency Rules and Federal Laws.
This bill changes how federal courts review legal interpretations made by government agencies (like those handling taxes or environmental rules). Instead of deferring to the agency's view, courts must now independently decide what the law means. This gives citizens and businesses a stronger ability to challenge regulations they believe go beyond what Congress intended.
Key points
Federal courts must interpret all laws and agency rules independently, without giving special weight to the agency's own interpretation.
This applies to all agency guidance, policies, and formal rules affecting daily life and business operations.
The change shifts power from unelected agency officials to the judicial branch, potentially leading to more regulations being overturned by judges.
