In June, the US Supreme Court overturned a 40-yearold legal principle known as the Chevron doctrine, which deferred to federal agencies on how regulations are interpreted in legal cases when the legislation enacted by Congress is unclear. Striking a blow against this precedent, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts indicated that Chevron was “fundamentally misguided” and that only the nation’s courts have the prerogative to interpret the laws they administer.

On June 28, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court overruled the “Chevron doctrine” in its decision on Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, No. 22-451, and Relentless v. Department of Commerce, No. 22-1219. The court reversed 40 years of precedent set by Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council that deferred to federal agencies in interpreting ambiguous laws when developing policies and regulations.
