Amongst all the memes about US presidential debates today 😱this news 🗞️ caught my attention. The US #SupremeCourt⚖️ has overturned the #Chevron deference doctrine, a decision that will significantly impact federal #regulation across various industries. Chevron deference was a legal principle that allowed courts to defer to federal agencies when interpreting vague language in congressional legislation. This doctrine empowered agencies to address urgent matters swiftly while awaiting new laws👩⚖️👨⚖️. For businesses 💻🖥️⌨️, this ruling shifts the responsibility of interpreting #regulations from agency experts to judges. This change could lead to inconsistency and confusion in legal interpretations, potentially affecting areas such as #environmentalProtection, #consumerSafeguards, and #DigitalPolicies like #netNeutrality. In light of this decision #IMHO, businesses in US should closely monitor regulatory developments and prepare for potential changes in interpretation across various sectors. Companies may need to reassess their #compliance strategies and be prepared for increased legal challenges to agency regulations.

The Supreme Court's decision to overturn the Chevron doctrine marks a big shift in U.S. governance. After 40 years, the era of broad agency rule-making interpretation is over. https://lnkd.in/ewem4zh9 Key takeaways: 1️⃣ Federal agencies lose significant power to interpret ambiguous laws 2️⃣ Courts now have final say on statutory interpretation 3️⃣ Increased burden on Congress to craft precise legislation 4️⃣ Potential for inconsistent rulings across federal courts This ruling comes at a time when passing basic legislation is already challenging. It gives us an opportunity to reimagine how we regulate, innovate, and compete globally. The impact most likely will be far-reaching from environmental regulations, healthcare policies, tech industry oversight, and perhaps some national security measures. As we navigate complex issues like AI governance and international technological rivalry, the need for nimble, forward-thinking policies has never been greater. Thoughts on how this will affect your industry?

MAJOR NEWS - Today's SCOTUS decision to overturn the Chevron doctrine will undoubtedly create major waves across the US. Reactions are already mixed, with some praising the strengthening of judicial independence and others wondering to what extent it will imply a departure from expertise (on the basis of administrative agencies being, in theory, experts on the implementation of statutes within their purview and judges not being so). Some indicate that Chevron disproportionally affected smaller players that were unable to gather the reason to demonstrate that the administration's interpretation of a statute was unreasonable. I'm on the fence on this one and wonder if this will not simply mean that the cost of expert witnesses will increase tenfold. It is clearly to early to measure the potential impact of the decision, which comes with both dissenting and concurring opinions that need careful review. What is clear, though, is that regulatory compliance, for example, will now require a much closer interaction between Compliance and Legal departments in US companies, as the views of the administration weigh less and unclear statutes appear to be more open to debate in court. The impact in comparative law also remains to be seen as many Western states are currently battling over the level of judicial independence and the so called "democratic deficit". Also, this seems to fly opposite to the EU trend to increase the number of administrative agencies in charge of enforcing an ever-increasing number of EU regulations and directives. Certainly one to follow up on. Sed Nove Consulting #ChevronDoctrine #AdministrativeState #RegulatoryCompliance #AdministrativeLaw https://lnkd.in/epiRKyME

Big news from the Supreme Court! They just overruled the Chevron doctrine, which means courts will now interpret ambiguous laws instead of federal agencies. This could shake up everything from environmental rules to healthcare costs. For 40 years, agencies had the power to interpret unclear laws. Now, the courts are stepping in. Some say this is a win for keeping government power in check, while others worry it could lead to confusion and inconsistency. Interesting times ahead for all of us in regulatory fields! chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://lnkd.in/gRGAa87f

The US Supreme Court overturned the so-called “Chevron deference”—a 1984 decision holding that courts generally should defer to federal agencies when there are disputes over how to interpret ambiguous language in legislation passed by Congress. This approach supposedly leads to more informed decisions by leaning on expertise within those agencies. By overturning the Chevron doctrine, the Supreme Court decided that judges ought to make the call instead of agency experts. This court deference had been broadly applied to all US federal agencies, including the EPA. The decision will change how US environmental and consumer protections are decided and will weaken federal agencies’ ability to regulate the industry. For instance, EPA’s authority to regulate derives from Congressional laws including the Clean Air Act. But evolving regulations pertaining to newer concerns like CO2 or methane emissions—issues not specifically written into the statutes—can now be subject to court review and challenge. If a divided Congress fails to rewrite new, more specific legislation, this could result in a rollback of federal authority over broad segments of the economy. https://lnkd.in/eSvMZYqX https://lnkd.in/ePV3j4Uc

Late last month, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the 40-year-old Chevron deference, which allowed federal entities like the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to exercise subject matter expertise and insights when implementing critical laws. This is a troubling setback for the future of clean energy in this country as the EPA and other agencies must be able to act efficiently to help reach ambitious climate goals. The public sector must continue to lead the advancement of policies and technologies that help our planet and its people. https://lnkd.in/e7pn27_G

It’s time for people who make decisions that harm the environment or human rights are held personally accountable for those decisions. The bosses of big corporations are intelligent, well-informed, supremely well-resourced. Now some folks may ask what the purpose of prosecuting, say, Darren Woods of Exxon for the harm that his decisions have caused? Well, let’s be clear - it’s not about revenge, but about shaping the way that other corporate leaders make decisions. If they accept that they could be *_personally_* liable for any environmental or rights consequences then they would have cause to consider those consequences much more carefully… See my first comment which establishes the fact that Directors don’t have a legal obligation to maximise profits… it’s choices that they make… choices in some cases to behave like psychopaths!

The recent Supreme Court Loper Bright decision overturned the longstanding Chevron Deference ruling which represents a significant shift in federal regulatory oversight. United Church Funds (UCF) shares deep concerns over its implications, as it limits federal agencies' authority in interpreting and enforcing regulations.   According to the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR) CEO, Josh Zinner, this ruling concentrates power in the judiciary, diminishes the government's ability to ensure fair competition and prioritizes corporate interests over the public. ICCR has highlighted the decision's negative impact on federal agencies. Read more here: https://bit.ly/3zDVa5T.   Matthew Illian, CFP®, UCF's Director of Responsible Investing, emphasizes the decision's long-term implications: "This ruling introduces unpredictable legal costs to business, diverging from more predictable federal agency compliance costs. We are also seeing a hugely negative impact on environmental advocates who are fighting to protect their communities from pollution. It will take years to fully gauge the full impact of this decision."   At UCF, our commitment to advocating for a just and sustainable future is paramount. This decision underscores the need for our continued efforts to promote fairness and accountability in corporate governance and public policy. Let's collaborate toward a more just and transparent future. #responsibleinvesting

The Supreme Court's recent #LoperBright decision may significantly impact the #environmental regulatory landscape. Here are some initial thoughts regarding potential effects of the Court's overruling of the Chevron deference doctrine, on regulated persons (most of us), federal agencies, courts, and congressional legislation. #regulation #environmentalregulation #LoperBright #SupremeCourt #Chevrondeference #administrativelaw #EPA
