Reining In the Administrative Agencies— An Interim Report
1:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. (ET)
In Washington, D.C., there is a new President, a new Congress, and a new relationship between the administrative state and regulated communities. Commentators shared many predictions about the far-reaching effects of the Supreme Court’s decision in Loper Bright on the agencies and rulemaking, but have they come true? What practical effects, if any, have we observed since the elimination of Chevron deference? How might the Trump administration’s Office of Management and Budget approach regulation in this new world? What early returns do we have from the courts, and what might the benefits community see next? Join our panel of experts to take stock of the recent changes to the administrative state.
Raffle & Closing Remarks
