Missoulian: Appeals court reinstates wage rules for home care workers
15-5018 Home Care Association v. David Weil
“The Department contends that its revised third-party employer regulation lies within the scope of its rulemaking authority under the general agency delegation in § 29(b) of the 1974 Amendments, as confirmed by the Supreme Court’s decision in Coke. The Department further argues that the new regulation is a reasonable exercise of the Department’s authority at Chevron step two and is neither arbitrary nor capricious. We agree with the Department and uphold the regulation.”
