Supreme Court Ends “Chevron Deference” Rule, Shifting Power from Federal Agencies
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court has ended the “Chevron deference,” a rule dating back to 1984 that allowed federal agencies significant leeway in interpreting laws.
This change diminishes agencies’ power, impacting areas like environmental regulation and workplace safety.
Conservatives celebrate this as a victory against bureaucratic overreach, while liberals and advocacy groups fear setbacks in public health and environmental protections.
The ruling is expected to prompt more legal battles over agency rules and could push Congress to clarify laws more explicitly.
