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 bill changes the part of federal law that tells courts when to strike down actions taken by federal agencies. It adds a new reason a court must set aside an agency action. Under the bill, a court would set aside an agency action if it is supported by evidence the court finds is not the product of reliable scientific principles and methods. A court would also set it aside if the evidence does not reflect a reliable use of those principles and methods.
