To amend title 5, United States Code, to provide that judicial review under the Administrative Procedure Act does not include any evidence that the court determines is not the product of reliable scientific principles and methods.

This legislative proposal seeks to amend Title 5 of the United States Code, specifically targeting the scope of judicial review under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The primary goal is to introduce a new criterion for evidence considered during court review of federal agency actions.

The bill adds a new provision to Section 706(2) of Title 5, which outlines the grounds for setting aside agency actions. Under this amendment, a court would be prohibited from considering evidence that it determines is not the product of reliable scientific principles and methods, or that does not reflect a reliable application of those principles and methods. This change aims to ensure that judicial decisions regarding agency actions are based on demonstrably sound and scientifically credible information.
