The recent Chevron ruling by the Supreme Court has significant implications for federal policies such as auto emission limits, bans on non-compete agreements, and broadband regulation. The decision to overturn the Chevron doctrine could impact environmental, tech, and health policies, giving courts more power over agency interpretations of laws. This could lead to challenges in existing rules related to auto pollution limits, power plant emissions, federal enforcement actions, net neutrality, approvals of 'breakthrough' drugs, non-compete agreement bans, online privacy regulations, and worker rights enforcement. The ruling may also offer regulated communities more opportunities to challenge agency rules.
