•   "H.R. 288 is likely to create a system in which agencies act to protect their interpretations by drafting unclear regulations. The regulations will have vague language with fewer details to prevent de novo reviews. Furthermore, geographic differences in regulatory uncertainty will increase. The Chevron test creates a stabilized system in which federal statutes are all given the same interpretational deference in circuit courts where judges are in conflict on regulatory Interpretation. This bill is another anti-regulatory attempt to attack federal regulation by harming the legal infrastructure. Most erroneously, H.R. 288 would put the general public in harms way, resulting in impaired safeguards for civil rights, consumer rights, health, the environment, safety, financial markets, and all concerns of federal regulatory statutes."
