Republicans and Democrats are pushing competing legislation on the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Chevron deference earlier this month.
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) became the latest GOP lawmaker seeking to compel the Biden administration to rein in its rulemaking, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) is leading an effort that would codify the high court’s previous decades-old precedent.
The new bills, released Tuesday, are part of a broad effort among members of both parties in response to the ruling. A majority of justices said courts no longer had to give agencies deference when interpreting ambiguous laws.
The top Republican on the Senate Health, Environment, Labor and Pensions Committee would create more hurdles for agencies before their rules are published by involving Congress at various stages.
