Our distinguished panelists discussed the recent Supreme Court decision in Relentless v. Department of Commerce and Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. In perhaps the most consequential legal decision affecting federal regulatory law in some time, the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, has overruled Chevron, giving federal agencies less discretion under the Administration Procedure Act (APA) to interpret statutory law. Our panelists discussed how this decision reshapes energy and climate policy and beyond.
