Supreme Court Cases Threaten Key Regulatory Powers

Decisions on Chevron and nondelegation doctrines could reshape federal agency authority and impact major policies.

• The Supreme Court is considering overturning the Chevron doctrine, which allows agencies to interpret ambiguous laws.
• Two cases, Loper Bright v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Department of Commerce, challenge federal regulations on fisheries.
• Critics argue that removing Chevron deference could undermine health, safety, and environmental protections.
• A third case, SEC v. Jarkesy, questions the constitutionality of Congress delegating legislative powers to agencies.
• Decisions could affect regulations on climate, energy, and other critical areas, with rulings expected by July.
