The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding judicial review of administrative decisions by introducing a new provision that guarantees the right to trial by jury for defendants in appeals of final administrative decisions where the judgment sought involves payment from the other party. This insertion aims to enhance the rights of defendants in such cases, ensuring that they can exercise this right without restriction.

Additionally, the bill would remove existing language that exempts public service corporations from the statutes governing appeals of final administrative decisions, thereby broadening the applicability of these provisions. The bill also includes conforming changes to ensure consistency within the legal framework. Overall, these updates would modify the current legal landscape to provide greater protections for defendants in administrative appeals.
