“Chevron is overruled. Courts must exercise their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority, as the APA requires.” – Loper Bright, 2024

In a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned the “Chevron doctrine,” fundamentally altering the landscape of administrative law and federal regulatory oversight in the United States. In the recent case, two industrial fishing businesses challenged the U.S. Department of Commerce’s interpretation of a fishery and conservation statute. The Court’s ruling has called into question decades of administrative and constitutional law. Since the healthcare industry is so heavily regulated by various state and federal agencies, existing federal rules and regulations may soon be called into question.
