Workshop_in_brief
On April 7-8, 2025, the Committee on Science, Technology, and Law of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in Washington, D.C., titled "Implications of Recent Supreme Court Decisions for Agency Decision-Making." The major impetus for the workshop was the Supreme Court's 2024 decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, which overruled the principle of Chevron deference. This principle was the product of a 1984 case, Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., in which the Supreme Court directed courts to defer to reasonable interpretations made by executive agencies on ambiguous aspects of the laws they implement. Related to the Court's Loper Bright decision is a principle known as the major questions doctrine, which holds that Congress may not delegate to agencies decisions that are unheralded, transformative, and/or have major political or economic consequences without clear authorization. This publication summarizes the presentation and discussion of the workshop.
