A bill for an act relating to interpretation of law in administrative and judicial proceedings under the Iowa administrative procedure Act. (Formerly HF 36.)

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill changes how courts review interpretations of laws by state agencies. It specifies that courts will not automatically accept an agency's interpretation of a law, especially if the law's meaning is not clearly given to the agency's discretion. If passed, this would require courts to interpret laws themselves rather than deferring to the agency's view, potentially limiting agency power.
