Ends court deference to state agencies on law interpretation
Requires courts and agency hearing officers to interpret state laws and agency rules themselves rather than deferring to agency interpretations. In agency cases, doubt is resolved in favor of readings that limit agency authority. The bill does not directly address K-12 schools or students.
