In late June, the 40-year-old Chevron doctrine came to an end. Recent court rulings and state actions are reshaping the landscape of regulatory authority. With uncertainty at the federal level, state legislators are adjusting to this new era by more clearly defining agency authority and discretion in their statutes. However, the Midwestern Legislative Conference panelists agreed that industries and interest groups will litigate or relitigate agency authority to make specific regulations. #Chevron #ChevronRuling #LoperBright #SupremeCourt https://lnkd.in/gqCvtuju

Thrilled for the opportunity to assist legislative leaders nationwide in exploring the nuances of Medicaid and its flexibilities. Attending the Medicaid leadership meeting with esteemed directors from across the country was an enriching experience. It's always a joy to highlight the positive strides in WV Medicaid! Proud to share the great initiatives and successes happening in our state's Medicaid program. Together, we're making a difference and improving access to quality healthcare for all.

In the 19th century, labor activists pushed for a holiday recognizing the hard work of the American people. Though New York was the first state to introduce a bill for the holiday, Oregon was the first state to officially pass a law recognizing Labor Day on Feb. 21, 1887. That same year, Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York passed laws making Labor Day a holiday. On June 28, 1894, the first Monday in September was formally recognized as a national holiday by Congress. Happy Labor Day, everyone! 🇺🇲
