A Supreme Court ruling overturning the so-called Chevron doctrine is likely to pave the way for legal challenges to California's clean air rules.
A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling will probably pave the way for more legal challenges — and potential setbacks — for California's groundbreaking clean air rules and myriad other federal environmental protections. In a 6-3 decision last week, the Supreme Court overturned the so-called Chevron doctrine, a long-standing legal precedent that instructed U.S. courts to rely on federal agencies to interpret ambiguous laws.
EPA has been forced to use decades-old environmental laws to craft modern regulations to slow climate change and crack down on pollution from new industries. Legal experts say the ruling could have a chilling effect on ambitious federal rulemaking, which will now be subject to a federal judiciary filled with Trump appointees.
