Sunset Chevron Act

Bill 119 HR 274, also known as the "Sunset of Rules Upheld Based on Chevron Deference Act," aims to address the issue of Chevron deference in the US Congress. Chevron deference is a legal doctrine that requires courts to defer to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes. This bill seeks to put an end to this practice by providing for the sunset of rules that have been upheld based on Chevron deference.

If passed, this bill would require agencies to review and potentially repeal any rules that have been upheld based on Chevron deference within a certain timeframe. This would allow for a more transparent and accountable regulatory process, as agencies would be required to justify their rules based on the text of the statute rather than relying on deference from the courts.

Overall, the Sunset of Rules Upheld Based on Chevron Deference Act aims to promote a more balanced and fair regulatory environment by limiting the power of agencies to interpret statutes in a way that may not align with congressional intent. It will be interesting to see how this bill progresses through Congress and what impact it may have on the regulatory landscape in the future.
