The Supreme Court of the United States’ recent ruling in&nbsp;Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo&nbsp;dealt a significant blow to the power of federal agencies by ending the 40-year-old precedent commonly known as “Chevron&nbsp;deference.”&nbsp;Loper&nbsp;has now removed the judicial mandate that courts apply “Chevron&nbsp;deference” and defer to agencies on the interpretation of ambiguous language in laws pertaining to their authority. While it is unclear what impact this ruling will have in environmental enforcement cases as well as environmental regulations, federal judges will now have the power to decide what a law means for themselves, expanding the federal bench’s role in enforcement actions and policymaking.
