Supreme Court Poised to Overturn Landmark Chevron Doctrine
Potential ruling could reshape federal regulatory power across multiple industries, from finance to healthcare.
- The Chevron deference allows federal agencies to interpret ambiguous laws, impacting regulatory practices for decades.
- Business groups argue the doctrine leads to burdensome regulations without clear congressional authorization.
- A Supreme Court decision could lead to increased litigation as businesses challenge longstanding regulations.
- Democratic senators defend the doctrine as essential for allowing expert agencies to implement complex policies.
- The case originated from fishing companies disputing costs imposed by the National Marine Fisheries Service.
