The End of Chevron Deference and Its Impact on the Banking Industry By Amy J. Tawney, Partner, and Jessica P. Tarantine, Associate, Bowles Rice LLP Although the actual long-term impact of the overruling of Chevron deference will likely be determined through years of litigation, the initial impact on the banking industry is potentially mixed. On the one hand, the banking industry will have a greater likelihood of success when challenging regulatory agency decisions. Banking regulators will need to be more cautious in their future rulemaking and provide a statutory basis when adopting new regulations. Conversely, relying on agency regulations and guidance will be more difficult due to the reduced judicial deference to agency interpretations. Overall, it is anticipated that litigation challenging regulatory agency rules and decisions will be on a stark incline.
