Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill codifies Chevron deference, a judicial doctrine requiring courts to defer to reasonable agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes they are authorized to implement. The bill amends the Administrative Procedure Act to establish that courts may only overturn agency actions if the agency's interpretation of a statute is unreasonable, and specifies that congressional intent must be determined using legislative history including floor statements, committee reports, sponsor letters, and press releases. The bill also creates a fast-track legislative procedure allowing Congress to overturn court decisions striking down agency actions as unreasonable, with expedited consideration timelines and limited debate.
