Congressional Re-Review of Agency Rules After Chevron Deference Overturn
This act allows Congress to re-evaluate and potentially nullify federal agency rules that previously relied on the legal doctrine known as "Chevron deference." This means citizens might see Congress actively scrutinizing agency decisions that could have significantly impacted their lives, for example, in environmental or business matters, giving them more oversight over these regulations.
Key points
Congress gains the power to re-review and disapprove agency rules previously upheld by Chevron deference.
Agencies must provide Congress with detailed information, including cost-benefit analyses, for rules under re-evaluation.
If Congress disapproves a rule, it will be treated as if it never took effect, potentially impacting various aspects of daily life.
