The decision establishes that courts, not federal regulatory agencies, have final authority over the meaning of federal laws implicating those agencies and the limits on their authority.

On June 28, 2024, the US Supreme Court handed down its decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Department of Commerce, overruling the Chevron doctrine and holding that under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), courts must exercise their independent judgment when interpreting federal statutes implicating federal agencies and deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority.
