The Chevron Doctrine, a legal precedent for nearly half a century, was recently overturned in a monumental Supreme Court decision. This ruling could radically alter how federal regulations are interpreted and enforced, significantly affecting employment law.
The Chevron Doctrine, rooted in the landmark case Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. (1984), established a two-step process for courts to follow when reviewing a federal agency’s interpretation of a statute that it administers. The doctrine essentially granted agencies the authority to interpret ambiguous statutes, provided their interpretations were reasonable.
If the statute was ambiguous or silent on an issue, the court deferred to the agency’s expertise as long as the agency’s interpretation was deemed reasonable.
How could this ruling impact employment law decisions? Agencies like the EEOC will likely face more hurdles in enforcing regulations that are not explicitly detailed in statutes. For instance, the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which provides accommodations for pregnancy-related issues, including abortion services, might be subject to new interpretations by courts rather than the EEOC.
While the Chief Justice noted that the decision does not overturn any prior rulings based on Chevron deference, its implications are profound. Federal agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) could see their powers to interpret and enforce ambiguous statutes constrained. This shift may embolden more legal challenges against new rules and regulations, potentially leading to increased litigation and uncertainty.
