Chevron deference's end has big impacts for democracy's checks and balances

University of South Dakota

This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ended something called the Chevron deference.

In general terms, they took away some of the policymaking power of federal agencies, overseen by the executive branch, and gave that influence to federal judges whenever laws passed by Congress are unclear.

What comes out of Washington has similarities to what comes out of Pierre, but the rule-making process has some key differences.

Neil Fulton, J.D., walks us through those differences and the impacts of this ruling here at home. He is the dean of the Knudson School of Law at the University of South Dakota.
