Democrats Introduce Bill to Reinstate Federal Agency Powers
Legislation led by Sen. Warren aims to counter recent Supreme Court ruling limiting regulatory authority.
- The bill seeks to restore Chevron deference, allowing agencies to interpret ambiguous statutes.
- Supreme Court's recent decision had curtailed these powers, affecting environmental and consumer protections.
- The legislation also includes measures for transparency and efficiency in the rule-making process.
- A similar bill has been introduced in the House, but passage is unlikely in the current political climate.
- Democrats are also considering broader reforms, including a constitutional amendment to address presidential immunity.
