Fitzgerald’s Separation of Powers Restoration Act Passes House
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 288, the Separation of Powers Restoration Act, legislation introduced by Congressman Scott Fitzgerald:
Background
In 1984, the Supreme Court ruled in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council that courts must defer to agency interpretations of ambiguous statues rather than how Congress wrote them. This has led to executive branch agencies circumventing Congress to issue rules with the force of law. The Separation of Powers Restoration Act repeals that precedent, restores congressional intent, and stops executive branch overreach.
