The Supreme Court has significantly reduced the powers of federal agencies by overturning the Chevron doctrine, a 40-year-old precedent that allowed these agencies to interpret laws they regulate. This 6–3 decision means courts will no longer defer to agencies' expertise on ambiguous laws, shifting this responsibility to judges. Chief Justice Roberts assured that previous rulings based on the Chevron doctrine remain valid, but future regulations may face new legal challenges. This ruling is seen as a victory for legal conservatives aiming to limit the influence of unelected bureaucrats.
