The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a huge win for industries impacted by federal overreach. In its decisions in Loper Bright v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Commerce, the high Court has provided increased regulatory certainty to small businesses around the country, including specialty automotive aftermarket companies, that have been adversely impacted by federal regulatory overreach. The Court's decisions overturned what is known as the Chevron Doctrine, which adopted the principle that judges should defer to federal executive branch agencies' interpretations of their powers when the laws that Congress has written are ambiguous or have gaps so long as those interpretations are reasonable. The Court's decision affirms that agencies cannot take actions that are inconsistent with, or not supported by, the language of the laws passed by Congress.

Pennsylvania Governor Signs SAN-Supported Bill Allowing Doorless Driving
Pennsylvania, here’s a win! Governor Josh Shapiro signed into law a SAN-supported bill (S.B. 298) to allow doorless driving for vehicles such as Jeeps and Broncos. This bill addressed the previous legal restriction in Pennsylvania, which was the only state where driving without doors, except for off-roading, was illegal. This act will take effect in 60 days.
