Supreme Court Ends Chevron Deference, Reshaping Federal Agency Authority

The Loper Bright ruling mandates courts, not agencies, to interpret ambiguous statutes, marking a significant shift in administrative law.

The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Loper Bright v. Raimondo overrules the Chevron deference doctrine.
Chief Justice Roberts emphasized the need for courts to independently interpret statutes without deferring to agencies.
Critics argue this change will lead to inconsistent regulatory interpretations and increased legal uncertainty.
Supporters believe it will curb erratic policy shifts with each new administration.
The ruling redirects lobbying efforts towards Congress to enact clearer legislative mandates.
