Requiring courts to favor an interpretation that limits agency power

This proposed bill (LC 905) would have required courts to interpret state laws in a way that limits the regulatory power of government agencies. It directly affects courts, state agencies, and individuals or businesses subject to agency regulations. The key mechanism would have mandated that judges prioritize interpretations reducing agency authority when multiple legal interpretations were possible. However, the bill never became law, as it died in the drafting process in May 2025 without advancing to committee review.
