Summary

Session: 2023-2024

ACLU-PA Position: Opposes

SB 425 (PN 447) would prohibit the court from deferring to an executive branch agency when considering the interpretation of a vague or unclear statute. If there is ambiguity in the statutory language, the proper approach would be for the legislature to clarify the statute, not limit the power and authority of the other two branches.
