HB 762 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Specifies that courts shall not defer to agencies for reasonable interpretations of statutes

This bill requires courts to independently review state agency interpretations of laws instead of automatically accepting those interpretations. It affects how courts handle disputes involving agency rules by preventing them from deferring to agency explanations of statutes or regulations. The law would change the standard for judicial review in cases where agencies interpret the statutes they enforce.
