This bill says that courts and hearing officers in Washington, DC should not automatically side with the Mayor or DC agencies when deciding what a law or rule means. Instead, judges and reviewers must make their own judgment about the meaning of DC laws and regulations. The bill also cancels a recent temporary DC law about reviewing agency actions and restores the rules that were in place before that temporary law.
