US EditionCalifornia to sue Trump administration over ‘shortsighted’ and ‘illegal’ attempt to upend state’s emissions standards
- California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta announced plans to sue the Trump administration after the Senate voted to block the state's 2035 ban on sales of new gas-powered cars.
- The lawsuit responds to the Senate's 51-44 repeal of California's EPA waiver under the Congressional Review Act, which experts and officials say is an unlawful federal overreach.
- California contends that the federal action undermines its long-established ability, granted by environmental law, to enforce more rigorous emissions regulations—a standard adopted by over a dozen other states to reduce pollution.
- Governor Gavin Newsom emphasized that the issue at hand is not about electric vehicles but about allowing increased pollution, while Attorney General Rob Bonta criticized the repeal as a direct benefit to fossil fuel industries.
- The lawsuit could take months to a year in court, potentially reaching the Supreme Court, and may significantly impact California's environmental policies and other states with similar standards.
