This bill amends the interpretation of statutes, rules, and regulations by state courts and administrative officers in Kansas. It explicitly prohibits these entities from deferring to a state agency's interpretation of laws, requiring them instead to interpret such statutes, rules, and regulations de novo, meaning from the beginning without regard to the agency's previous interpretations. Additionally, in cases involving state agencies, the bill mandates that any remaining doubts in interpretation should favor a reasonable understanding that limits the agency's powers and enhances individual liberty.

The bill also clarifies the definitions of "rule and regulation" and "state agency" as per existing law (K.S.A. 77-602). It is set to take effect upon its publication in the statute book, reinforcing the legislative intent to ensure that individual rights are prioritized over agency interpretations in legal matters.
