Agency Deference, Federal and Texas Developments (Nov 2024)
SCOTUS recently overruled the Chevron doctrine, under which federal agencies’ interpretations of ambiguous federal laws within their areas of expertise were granted deference. What is—or was—the Chevron doctrine, how did it come to be, and how will its being overruled affect agencies in their implementation of their enabling acts? Does Texas have its own state-law Chevron-like doctrine, and if so, how does it differ from Chevron? What is the current and future role of Texas agencies in the interpretation and implementation of Texas law?
