recognizing that the General Assembly can delegate discretionary functions to administrative bodies and officers and holding that a statute does not unconstitutionally delegate legislative power if it establishes an intelligible principle to which the administrative body or officer must conform and if it establishes a procedure for effective review
How later courts described this case
- recognizing that the General Assembly can delegate discretionary functions to administrative bodies and officers and holding that a statute does not unconstitutionally delegate legislative power if it establishes an intelligible principle to which the administrative body or officer must conform and if it establishes a procedure for effective review
- validating delegation of authority to deny rate increases when Superintendent of Insurance finds proposed rates “lawful, fair, and reasonable” and good faith effort had not been made to contain costs, because containment of medical costs was permissible delegation of General Assembly’s discretionary functions, judicial review was available, and “[fjurther guidance would be impractical”
