75 Years of the Administrative Procedure Act & What it Means for You

This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). This “super statute” governs the way administrative agencies develop and issue regulations and allows for oversight of agency actions by federal courts. On FEDtalk last week, the guests took a brief look at the history of the APA and how the law has evolved over the last 75 years. Finally, the group discussed modern issues in administrative law and how these challenges impact the civil service.
