Bill Summary

AN ACT concerning state agencies; relating to interpretation of statutes, rules and regulations and documents with the force and effect of law; prohibiting deference to the agency's interpretation by a state court or an administrative hearing officer hearing an administrative action.

AI Summary

This bill, concerning state agencies, modifies how state courts and administrative hearing officers interpret laws, rules, regulations, and other official documents. Instead of deferring to a state agency's interpretation, courts and hearing officers must consider it but ultimately interpret the meaning and effect of the law themselves, a process known as de novo review. In cases involving a state agency, any remaining uncertainty after applying standard interpretation methods must be resolved in a way that upholds an individual's fundamental constitutional rights. The bill also clarifies that terms like "rule and regulation" and "state agency" are defined as they are in K.S.A. 77-602.
