This bill amends the Administrative Procedures Act, specifically 75 O.S. 2021, Section 318, to enhance the judicial review process for final agency orders. It establishes that any party aggrieved by such orders is entitled to a prompt and thorough judicial review, while also clarifying that this process does not preclude other forms of legal recourse. The bill specifies the procedures for initiating judicial review, including the requirement to file a petition in the appropriate district court and the timeline for doing so. Additionally, it allows for the recovery of court costs and attorney fees for both parties involved, depending on the court's determination of whether the proceedings are frivolous.

Notably, the bill introduces new language that mandates courts to interpret state statutes and administrative rules without deferring to agency interpretations, applying a de novo standard. This means that courts will independently assess the meaning and implications of the law, favoring interpretations that limit agency power and enhance individual liberties. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
