WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO CURRENT EPA/ETC. REGS? The Supreme Court on Friday threw into question the future of climate and environmental regulation in the United States, scrapping a decades-old legal precedent that gave federal agencies leeway to interpret laws according to their expertise and scientific evidence. The impact of the decision to scrap the so-called Chevron deference will take years to become clear, but it could allow for far more legal challenges against regulations by agencies like the EPA and the Department of the Interior that have a huge role in the climate fight. The court in several recent decisions has outlined its own standard for evaluating regulations. This standard, which the court’s conservative justices call the “major questions doctrine,” prohibits agencies from making rules on issues of “economic and political magnitude” without clear directives from Congress. The court has never outlined what constitutes an issue of such magnitude, but it cited the “major questions” test in a landmark 2022 case that limited the EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gases. https://lnkd.in/gefr4t3Z

The Supreme Court’s recent decision to dismantle the #Chevron deference marks a pivotal shift in the landscape of climate and environmental regulation in the United States. This decades-old precedent allowed federal agencies to interpret laws based on their expertise and scientific evidence, significantly shaping the nation’s regulatory framework. Although not immediately clear, the fallout from this decision is expected to open the floodgates for legal challenges against regulations by key agencies like the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of the Interior, both crucial players in the fight against climate change. ➡ https://lnkd.in/ehcfZ5bS Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) Southern Environmental Law Center Sabin Center for Climate Change Law Sierra Club #climatechange #scotus
