Ending Agency Overreach Act; create.

HB 1370, the "Ending Agency Overreach Act," would require Mississippi courts to interpret statutes and agency rules themselves during appeals, rather than deferring to agency interpretations. It also extends the deadline for challenging agency rules from one year after adoption to one year after the challenger is harmed by the rule. The bill directly affects courts, state agencies, and individuals or businesses contesting rule validity. However, it died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
