For 40 years or so laws granting regulatory authority to federal agencies were written with the understanding that Chevron Deference was the law of the land. Now those laws grating regulatory authority
are going to be considered too vague. What will happen is that regulatory agencies will be thwarted in their duty to protect the public. Where the court is headed is that they will require a level of specificity in writing laws that grant regulatory authority that is impractical. Read what the dissenting opinions were and see where they think things are headed.
- dbcurtis 2y agoI think the reality is that regulations will become more “sticky”. There will be a motivation to get it “right” the first time. Overall, I am happy to see an end to capricious reinterpretation with every change of administration. I don’t expect that we will see more specific legislation.
- skhunted 2y agoThere wasn’t a capricious change with every administration. You can point to isolated examples but not some over arching, wide ranging scheme. Your view about it being a good thing that Chevron is gone will not age well. You will be like the Texas ranchers that vote Republican and complain about oil companies polluting their water.
