US Supreme Court Overturns Chevron Decision

Reported 12 months ago

The US Supreme Court has overturned a longstanding decision from the Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council case, which originally stated that judges should defer to federal agencies in interpreting the law when the language of a statute is ambiguous. This shift transfers more power back to the courts from federal agencies, significantly impacting the interpretation of agency laws. The ruling, coming down 6-3 along ideological lines, signals a key change in the balance of power within the federal government.
