In 2024, the Supreme Court released a decision that substantially impacted executive branch agencies by overturning a long-standing doctrine known as “Chevron deference.” In this decision, which addressed powers of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Supreme Court offered “deference” to executive branch officials interpreting their powers as granted by congressional statutes. That type of deference evaporated with the high Court's 2024 decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, Secretary of Commerce. In this presentation, we will discuss the origins of the Chevron doctrine, the rationales underlying its overturn, and the ramifications of this monumental shift for future court cases involving administrative agencies. Finally, we also will take some time to address other ways that the influence of administrative agencies might wane in the coming years.
