What the Supreme Court’s Chevron Ruling Means for the Cattle Industry

On this episode, NCBA Chief Counsel Mary-Thomas Hart joins to recap the Supreme Court’s decision to end Chevron deference, a legal concept that granted federal agencies broad latitude to craft regulations without explicit direction from Congress. Over the last 40 years, Chevron has led to Congress ceding authority to federal agencies who institute an increasingly greater number of regulations, including rules that impact cattle producers. Hart provides analysis of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, explains how the decision will impact ongoing rulemakings, and describes how Congress’ role may change moving forward.
