This bill sets the legal standard that Kentucky courts must use when reviewing actions taken by state government agencies. It establishes rules for how much weight judges should give to an agency's interpretation of laws and regulations when those decisions are challenged in court. This matters to Kentuckians because it shapes how disputes between individuals or businesses and state agencies are resolved in the court system. Who it may affect: people or businesses that challenge state agency decisions in court, as well as the agencies themselves.
