The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 522, seeks to amend section 1-2z of the general statutes to clarify the deference given to state agencies in their interpretation of ambiguous statutes. Specifically, the bill stipulates that a state agency's interpretation of such statutes, which grants the agency the authority to adopt regulations, shall be afforded deference as long as the interpretation is deemed reasonable.

This amendment aims to ensure that state agencies are recognized for their expertise in interpreting laws that may not be explicitly clear, thereby allowing them to effectively implement regulations that align with legislative intent. The bill does not indicate any deletions from current law but focuses on the insertion of the new language regarding the deference to reasonable interpretations by state agencies.
