Supreme Court takes up FCC case on agency powers

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case challenging the Federal Communications Commission’s authority over the Universal Service Fund, a program that funds broadband expansion in underserved areas. The case could revive the long-dormant nondelegation doctrine, limiting how much power Congress can give federal agencies. Legal experts say the ruling could reshape federal regulation across industries, including environmental and tribal affairs. Arguments have not yet been scheduled.
