How Loper Bright affects life in Alaska and beyond is 'something that, you know, our kids will still be grappling with,' one attorney says.
The U.S. Supreme Court issued a huge decision late last month that removes power from all federal agencies, and the results are sure to be consequential, in Alaska and all over the country.
The case is called Loper Bright Enterprises, and here to explain the potential implications for Alaska is Alaska Public Media Washington Correspondent Liz Ruskin.: Liz, if people have heard anything about this case it’s that the court has thrown out the doctrine of Chevron deference.
To break that down a bit, Congress passes ambiguous laws all the time. They can’t foresee every possible situation where a law might apply. Or maybe they can’t reach political agreement on all the details. So then it’s up to federal agencies to interpret those laws when they issue regulations and make decisions. And then someone sues and says, that’s not how I read the law.
