This bill would undermine the principle of separation of powers, a fundamental element of our government, by upsetting long-standing principles of judicial review of agency interpretation of laws and regulations. It would prevent courts from deferring to agencies’ expert interpretations of ambiguous laws. Instead, it would mandate that courts substitute their own judgment, shifting power to unelected judges and undermining agency expertise. This change could jeopardize public health, safety and financial security.
