Amends the administrative procedures act to ensure courts decide questions of law without deference to agency interpretations.
This bill amends the administrative procedures act to ensure that when a court reviews an agency decision, it decides questions of law without deference to any previous determination or interpretation of the law by the agency. The court may affirm, reverse, or modify the agency's decision if substantial rights of the appellant have been prejudiced. The court may also order a stay of enforcement and permit additional evidence if material and if there were good reasons for the failure to present it before the agency.
