The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case regarding Congress' ability to delegate power to federal agencies, marking a significant development in the ongoing effort to limit the federal government's authority. The appeal, filed by the Biden administration, follows a recent ruling that restricted federal agencies' interpretation of vague laws related to workplace conditions, environmental protections, and consumer safeguards.
The case revolves around the funding mechanism for the Universal Service Fund, which supports reduced-price phone and internet services for rural schools and low-income families. The court's decision, expected by June, could have broader implications for delegations of power to various agencies beyond the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
