Supreme Court Overrules Chevron, Changing Agency Regulatory Authority

The Supreme Court's recent decision to overrule Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, a longstanding precedent allowing agency deference in interpreting statutes, has significant implications across regulatory sectors. By discarding Chevron, the court shifts the authority of interpreting laws from administrative agencies to federal courts, potentially leading to a more judicially-driven regulatory landscape. This move alters how areas like environmental protection, healthcare, consumer safety, and transportation regulations are determined, as courts now have a more prominent role in defining statutory laws.
