Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“First, it will be evaluated to determine if it is exempt as an income producer or as a home. If not exempt, it will be evaluated to determine if its fair market value exceeds $4,500. If worth more than $4,500, the portion in excess of $4,500 for each vehicle will be counted as a resource. The vehicle will also be evaluated to see if it is equity exempt as the household’s only vehicle or necessary for employment reasons. If not equity exempt, the equity value will be counted as a resource. If the vehicle has a countable market value of more than $4,500 and also a countable equity value, only the greater of the two amounts shall be counted as a resource.”

Indeed, if an agency charged with a statute’s enforcement interprets the statute’s textual ambiguities in such a way as to accommodate conflicting policies reasonably, a court must not disturb the agency’s interpretation unless it runs counter to the statutory language or the legislative history.”
