The 40-year-old legal doctrine had been sharply criticized by businesses
The U.S. Supreme Court decided on Friday to overturn a 40-year-old legal doctrine used by the federal government to defend some of its regulatory actions in court.What is Chevron deference?
The doctrine, among the most important principles in administrative law, arose from a 1984 Supreme Court ruling involving oil company Chevron The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which represents more than 300,000 businesses, had argued that Chevron deference has let Congress “outsource core policy decisions to agencies through broadly worded statutes.” That has given the agencies, it said, “free rein to enact their own new regulatory requirements through sweeping rulemakings or after-the-fact enforcement actions.”In one example that is currently in the courts, the Chamber of Commerce sued the U.S.
In a brief, the group asked the Supreme Court to at least limit the scope of Chevron deference “to ensure lower courts properly discern congressional intent and enforce statutory provisions as written.”
