Summary
Based on the bill's title, this legislation would amend federal administrative law to require courts to conduct a de novo (fresh) trial of facts when reviewing agency actions that impose sanctions. Currently, courts typically apply a more deferential standard of review to agency decisions. The bill would change this standard specifically for sanction cases, potentially making it easier for parties to challenge agency penalties in court.
