Chevron Deference Supreme Court

Supreme Court Limits Federal Agencies' Regulatory Authority

Landmark Chevron Deference Precedent Overturned

Concise News Lead:

In a significant shift in administrative law, the Supreme Court has ruled to overturn the decades-old Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council precedent, which required courts to defer to federal agencies' interpretations of ambiguous statutes. The decision limits the power of agencies to regulate and sets a new standard for judicial review of agency actions.

The ruling stems from a case involving the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) regulation of air pollution from power plants. The Court held that the EPA's interpretation of the Clean Air Act was not entitled to deference because it was not a "permissible construction" of the statute.

The decision has far-reaching implications for administrative law and will likely impact a wide range of federal regulations. It is a victory for those who have argued that agencies have been given too much power to interpret and enforce laws without sufficient judicial oversight.
