The Supreme Court on Friday reduced the authority of executive agencies, sweeping aside a long-standing legal precedent that required courts to defer to the expertise of federal administrators in carrying out laws passed by Congress.
The precedent, Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, is one of the most cited in American law.
The decision threatens regulations in countless areas, including the environment, health care and consumer safety.The conservative legal movement and business groups have long objected to the Chevron ruling, partly based on a general hostility to government regulation and partly based on the belief, grounded in the separation of powers, that agencies should have only the power that Congress has explicitly given them.
The court decided two almost identical cases, Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, No. 22-451, and Relentless v. Department of Commerce, No. 22-1219. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was recused from the first case because she had participated in it as a federal appeals court judge.
