Altagracia Sanchez, et al. v. District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, No. 21-7014 · judgment August 12, 2022
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Questions presented
A District of Columbia administrative agency promulgated regulations requiring day-care providers to obtain a college degree (on top of existing, extensive training requirements) to care for children ages zero to three. The agency imposed these regulations with no guidance from the legislature and no mechanism in place for review by a court.
-
Does the Due Process Clause require complete and total judicial deference to these regulations?
-
Does the nondelegation doctrine impose any limits on delegating to administrative agencies the power to enact such regulations?
