- Adam Gustafson, acting head of the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division, described the lawsuit as a challenge to illegal regulations that conflict with federal law and emphasized that CARB should honor the democratic process.
- The legal action may affect about 400,000 registered heavy-duty diesel trucks in California and signals ongoing conflict between state and federal environmental policies.
