SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Administrative Process Act; appeal of case decisions regarding grant or denial of public assistance. Removes the prohibition against appeals regarding the adequacy of standards of need and payment levels for public assistance and social services programs and provisions limiting the court to ascertaining whether there was evidence in the agency record to support the case decision of the agency acting as the trier of fact. Current law allows court review of agency decisions regarding the grant of denial of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Medicaid, food stamps, general relief, auxiliary grants, or state-local hospitalization but limits such review to whether the agency relied on evidence to support its decision.
