A coalition of 19 conservative and libertarian groups sent a letter to congressional leaders Tuesday urging them to act after a major Supreme Court decision clawing back federal agency power.
The coalition, led by Americans for Prosperity, told lawmakers they have a “generational opportunity” to rein in the federal bureaucracy after the high court in June overturned Chevron deference, which for 40 years had compelled courts to defer to agencies’ interpretations of ambiguous statutes.
In the letter, the coalition proposed Congress delegate less authority to agencies in future legislation, streamline the procedures that allow lawmakers to overturn federal regulations, and increase agency oversight and hearings, among other steps.
The groups said the efforts are needed to “keep Congress one-step ahead of bureaucrats’ future attempts to regain lost influence and thwart government by the People.”

"The justices ruled along ideological lines that courts must exercise their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority, removing the deference that had long given the federal bureaucracy sweeping power."
