ProPublica | SCOTUS Overturned Chevron Deference. The Effects Are Already Being Felt. @ProPublica | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
With the Supreme Court due to start its new term in two weeks, a decision from its previous session is already rippling through scores of cases, affecting all aspects of American lives.

In June 2024, SCOTUS overturned a 40-year-old doctrine known as Chevron Deference, which made it so that judges gave deference to the federal agencies that regulate industries, like the EPA and the FTC, when it came to interpreting laws when Congress hadn’t clearly defined the scope of the agencies’ power, as long as the agencies’ decisions were reasonable.

Justice Elena Kagan wrote in her dissent that “given Chevron’s pervasiveness,” the decision to do away with the doctrine “is likely to produce large-scale disruption.”

Months later, we’re already seeing that disruption.
