Some forty years ago, the United States Supreme Court issued a decision called Chevron U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council. This decision laid the groundwork for the next forty years in what is called the “Chevron Deference.” The Chevron Deference required courts to defer to federal agencies' “expertise” on how to interpret ambiguous language in-laws about the agencies’ roles. Recently, the Supreme Court found that the Chevron Deference doctrine was incorrect and that courts are not required to give deference to these agencies’ interpretation of Congressional laws that may be considered ambiguous. What does this mean for employers?
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
The Chevron doctrine is one of the most important principles of administrative law in the United States. It states that when a federal statute is ambiguous, courts should defer to the reasonable interpretation of the agency that administers the statute, unless Congress has clearly expressed a different intent. In two recent cases called Loper Bright Enterprises, Inc. v. Raimondo and Relentless, Inc. v. Dept of Commerce, in which the Supreme Court emphatically rejected of agency deference. Federal agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the Occupational Safety and Health, and others will not face closer scrutiny and potentially more frequent legal challenges when interpreting ambiguous statutes. What does this mean for employers?
