Stock market today: S&P 500 ends flat on fresh trade war worries
Investing.com -- A group of 11 states led by California filed a lawsuit Thursday challenging the recent congressional repeal of California’s electric vehicle rules and heavy-duty truck requirements.
The legal action comes after President Donald Trump signed three resolutions approved by Congress that block California’s electric vehicle sales mandates and diesel engine regulations, including the state’s plan to end the sale of gasoline-only vehicles by 2035.
Filed in U.S. District Court in northern California, the lawsuit includes New York, Colorado, Massachusetts, and Washington state among its plaintiffs. The states argue that the congressional vote was unlawful and are asking a judge to declare that the resolutions "have no effect on the status or enforceability of state emissions control program."
The lawsuit directly challenges the federal government’s authority to overturn California’s environmental regulations that would have required a gradual transition to zero-emission vehicles over the next decade.
