US EditionSupreme Court Overturns Legislature’s Power to Suspend Administrative Rules
WISCONSIN, JUL 08 – The ruling ends decades of legislative rule suspension, shifting regulatory power to executive agencies and allowing faster implementation of administrative rules, officials said.
- In a 5-2 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court held JCRAR cannot block rules, removing legislative oversight and overturning decades of precedent based on bicameralism and presentment.
- Following Evers’s lawsuit, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that the legislative committee's blocking of rules violates constitutional separation of powers, removing longstanding oversight authority.
- The Wisconsin Supreme Court's 5-2 decision, authored by Chief Justice Karofsky with Hagedorn partly dissenting, cited violations of bicameralism and presentment in the legislative veto powers.
- Following the court decision, state agencies can now finalize rules without legislative review, enabling the enactment of the conversion therapy ban and increasing executive power.
- Beyond this case, Wisconsin executive agencies are likely to further test their authority as a progressive court majority emboldens Evers’s broader effort to limit GOP legislative power in state governance.
