Bill > SB553

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to clarify the rules of construction regarding legislative intent. Specifically, it states that if the language of a statute is ambiguous, the ambiguity cannot be interpreted as an implicit delegation of legislative rulemaking authority to a Commonwealth department, agency, board, or commission. Additionally, the ambiguity cannot be used to justify interpreting the authority of such entities expansively or deferring to their interpretation of the law. This provision applies to the judicial review of actions by these Commonwealth entities under Pennsylvania law.
