Bill Summary

A bill to amend title 5, United States Code, with respect to the judicial review of agency interpretations of statutory and regulatory provisions.

AI Summary

This bill, the Separation of Powers Restoration Act, amends Title 5 of the United States Code to change the judicial review of agency interpretations of statutory and regulatory provisions. The key changes are: 1) the reviewing court must decide all relevant questions of law, including the interpretation of constitutional and statutory provisions, and cannot defer to the agency's interpretation; 2) the court cannot interpret ambiguities or gaps in statutes or regulations as implicit delegations of legislative rulemaking authority to the agency; and 3) this new standard of judicial review applies broadly to any action for judicial review of agency action, unless a law specifically exempts the action from this section.
